image.jpgIt’s not exactly a secret Todosciuk family recipe, but there’re really nothing quite like Andy T’s “Gourmet Sweet Corn.”
\nSuper sweet and always tender, the delectable summertime favorite is available now at Andy T’s Farm Market on BR-127 just south of St. Johns.
\n“It’s a really good crop this year,” Todosciuk says about the farm’s sweet corn that’s picked fresh every day, seven days a week. “Our Gourmet Sweet Corn is picked by hand, not machine-harvested – you have to be gentle with it.”
\nAll that gentle hand-picking began the first week in July, and will continue throughout the growing season.

\n“We actually plant on a regular basis from April until July so that we can harvest fresh corn every day from July until October,” Todosciuk says, noting that different varieties are used for the varied growing conditions during that time period.
\nOne aspect of Andy T’s sweet corn remains the same however, no matter when it’s been planted or is harvested – it’s always sweet and tender.
\n“Sugar enhanced sweet corn is very tender but only lasts a couple days; super sweet sweet corn is really sweet, but it can be tough and not tender to eat,” the sweet corn expert says. “Our Gourmet Sweet Corn is a combination of both, creating a super sweet and fresh flavor that lasts and is always tender – it’s the best of both worlds.”
\nThat reputation for quality is what attracts customers and keeps them coming back for more all summer long.
\n“It’s always fresh every day right here in the market, and because we pick it at the ‘milk stage’ our Gourmet Sweet Corn maintains its flavor beyond the ripe stage unlike most sweet corn,” he says. “It stores really well if you take care of it properly – refrigerated at 34 degrees.”
\nThe long-time grower is equally particular about what goes into his fields where the sweet corn and other crops are planted. Fertilizer developed by Agrium Advanced Technologies helps Andy T’s corn grow and is good for the soil.
\n“It’s environmentally friendly,” Todosciuk says. “We’re very careful about how we treat and maintain our land.”
