Specialty corn and squash/pumpkins!



With the wet and cool conditions we are late in putting some of the crop in.  We do have what seed we had carry over of for blue corn, red corn, white corn, and a cleaned up version of the yellow corn planted.  We developed these for home "millers" to buy.  Should produce 30 bushel blue, 200 red, 400 white, and potentially 300 yellow.  We also have the Pumpkin we developed.  2 years ago, the pumpkin we chose for Thanksgiving made 5, that's right five, pies from 1 pumpkin.  We are also the only ones we know to grow a squash that is excellent for "baby food" because of the sugar content, and low fiber/stringiness.  Call and reserve yours now as all these go fast!!  Organic farmers, the yellow and white corns make excellent silage and feed stock.  Unlike most breeders, we test our lines by planting at 60,000 plants per acre.  If the won't stand or produce an ear, the do not get to add their pollen to the mix.
