How the Farm Stand Makes Corn:

At Pat & Don’s, we keep it simple—just the way fresh corn should be.

We steam our corn to lock in all that sweet, farm-fresh flavor. Here's how we do it:

1. We add just a bit of water to the pot.

2. Once it’s boiling, we place the corn in.

3. We let it steam for about five minutes—and that’s it!

No overcooking, no fuss—just hot, tender, perfectly steamed local corn every time.

It’s so fresh and naturally sweet, you don’t even need butter or salt (but we won’t blame you if you still add a little).

Hot, tender, and full of local flavor—just the way corn was meant to be.

How to Store & Enjoy Local Tomatoes

There’s nothing like the taste of a sun-ripened, local tomato — sweet, juicy, and packed with flavor! Here’s how to keep them fresh and a simple idea for how to use them:

Storing Local Tomatoes

• Never refrigerate fresh tomatoes. Cold temps can dull their flavor and change the texture.

• Keep them on the counter, out of direct sunlight, stem-side down to slow spoilage.

• If your tomatoes become overripe, use them right away — they’re perfect for sauces, soups, or roasting.
