Amy at Quigley Farm in Whiteford, shares her favorite way to prepare sweet corn:

At Quigley Farm, we like the following cooking method for fresh sweet corn from the farmers market:

Fill a large pot with approximately 2 inches of water and place on stove on a medium to high setting until water boils.

  • Remove the husk and silk from the sweet corn.
  • Carefully place the sweet corn into the boiling water with tongs.
  • Put the lid back on the pot and steam for 5 minutes exactly (we recommend using a kitchen timer).
  • Remove the sweet corn with tongs and place on a large serving tray.
  • Allow to cool slightly and serve.


We particularly enjoy the spray-able "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" and a little Old Bay on our corn for some extra Maryland flair!

Coming up: Baked Peach French Toast, and Grilled Ratatouille Salad.
