We had the sweetest corn I’ve had since my grandfather picked it fresh out of the garden and my grandmother dunked it ever so briefly in a pot of boiling water. This corn was so fresh and so sweet, it hardly needed cooking at all.
And the best part was we got it for free…at church. It was a promotion of sorts for the Food Resource Bank. Our church partners with a rural church in Forrest, Ill., to locally harvest food for the hungry oversees.
It’s a great organization to support and a great way to be a virtual farmer. You can sponsor an acre, a portion of an acre or a shovel to support the effort.
