Sweet corn harvest is one of the biggest harvest days here on the homestead. Every available person is needed to get the corn into the freezer as soon after picking as possible to preserve the ultimate freshness and taste.

This is exactly how my mom who is no longer living taught me to do it and it tastes like no other corn you can buy in any grocery store. The only thing she taught me to do that's different, is we refrigerate the corn before freezing so that it's completely cold before freezing and doesn't sour in the bag. I love this way of doing corn even over canning it because it tastes so fresh, like it's fresh off the cobb! 😋🌽

We never husk our corn that we are freezing. We leave the husk on wrap each in newspaper put enough for a meal in large plastic bags and freeze. They get in the freezer faster and are sweeter. We husk when we get ready to cook and eat it. Taste more like fresh picked.

I kept cracking up when the kids would start eating the corn in between the corn eating breaks. They did a great job!! Many hands make light work! It is a good lesson to work and then enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Went to the local Amish produce auction yesterday to learn the riffs and rhythm of the auctioneer. Prices were still way high, so didn't purchase anything. There were many old order Mennonites present too. It had me thinking of you and the miracle of God's Grace to which He called you. 🙌🏻 Praying for those still trapped in a futile mindset. BTW, I think all of your put up corn has teeth marks on it 😂

Great video! Just picked up 10 dozen ears of sweet corn and a bushel of seconds. Ordered PC corn cob tool but it’s not here yet. Will have to use what I have. Your KZfaq content is so inspiring and helpful. Thank you so much.

That was quite the crew you had. How many meals did you end up with? I want to thank you for keeping me inspired, I have blanched and frozen 35 lbs of green and yellow beans and 30 lbs of carrots this past 2 weeks. Experience has taught me that this a years worth of meals for my husband and myself. I was not feeling well and thought I had decided not to do pickles but when I saw how nice the cukes were this year, I sucked it up and did 10 lbs of cukes (8 jars). We get our veggies at a local co-op of veggie farmers as our urban yard is not really ideal for gardening. All the veggies grown in our Zone 3 area are fantastic this year. Thanks for keeping me motivated. I will pray that God will give you the energy and motivation to get through this season but we both know God is good.

I use a clean dry wash cloth to clean off the silks from the cobb. Just give the cloth a shake every now and then to keep it clean.

My Grandfather would harvest the corn in the cool morning and lay the ears in the middle of the rows. Once school was out and the 5 boys got home it would be their job to pick up the corn and haul it to the house. :) You should consider letting those strong boys do the lifting for you. Take care of your back, please.

Thank you for the video. Great fun! I do have a question, and it is not a criticism, as I know you usually have very good reasons for why things are done a certain way. I noticed both of your older children cutting corn off the cob with knives, both of them drawing the knife toward themself, which seems very dangerous. I have personally seen the results of a couple of accidents caused by similar usage, and it was very bad. So, I am wondering why you had them do it that way instead of resting one end of the cob on a surface and cutting away from them. Thanks again.

What a lot of work, but the rewards are great. I love home frozen corn and have fond memories of after church oven meals with a huge casserole dish of slow cooked corn coming out of the oven straight to the table. So good. It appears your help does a good job of shucking and cleaning, as well as eating.

You should teach them the proper way to remove the husks so that the silk isn't left behind on the corn which just creates more work for you. Instruct them, teach them.
