Irish Sweetcorn!!!

One of the most tasty and delicious things you could eat is fresh sweetcorn. In my humble opinion! Not many people in Ireland grow it, but farmer David Burns from Co. Longford supplies our Shop directly with his fantastic sweetcorn.

Many people would think that sweetcorn doesn’t grow in Ireland but in fact there are varieties that do thrive very well in the Irish climate. Sweetcorn is best eaten fresh, as in… pick it…. and eat it! David delivers his sweetcorn, picked fresh, to Waterfall Farm Shop every weekend. And the taste is just divine!! The Sunday Business Post readers among you would have noticed the mention he (and Waterfall Farm Shop) received in last weekends paper. He supplies top-end restaurants like Chapter One, in Dublin and he won an Euro-Toques Award for his endeavors earlier this year. Sweetcorn only has a really short harvesting season, about 6-8 weeks in September/October so if you fancy fresh, delicious Irish sweetcorn get your skates on! It’ll hardly be here and it’ll be gone!!
