Description: Open-pollinated corn has become increasingly difficult to source over the last 10 years. To protect from Hybrid and GMO pollen drift, we only source seed that has been grown in greater isolations than standard practices and we test each lot to ensure against genetically modified genes. Nutrients: Protein, vitamins C and A, thiamin, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, colate, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium.

Guidelines: Growing: A frost sensitive annual that is direct seeded when soil warms up, after danger of last frost. Succession plant for staggered harvest. The rule of thumb is to grow at least 4-10' rows to assist it's pollination by wind. Traditionally planted with bean and winter squash, known as the 3 sisters.
