Your variety of local sweet corn
Every place has its own favorite variety (s) of sweet corn that the locals like to buy. Ours is Silverqueen. What sells the most in your area?

Peaches and cream. It isn't my favorite, but it's all the buyers want and has been so for the last 4-5 years.

Honey Select first and Incredible second. In the 90's it was Siver Queen but these super sweet yellow ones are incredible. They taste just as sweet frozen as fresh
