Peninsula farms are selling corn, beets, beans, carrots, berries. Many crops are several weeks late because of the cold, wet spring and early summer.

Countless cobs of sweet corn, beets, carrots, wild and cultivated blackberries and more are being purchased and picked by residents keen to enjoy their annual locally grown favourites.

Corn is planted in stages through the season on 60 acres. Some plants are only about 0.3 metre tall right now but they will be the ones producing in the fall. Sluggett Farms sells about nine varieties of corn. “We’ve learned over the years they produce superior quality sweetness, appearance and everything.”In a normal year, planting starts in April, following with weekly planting for 13 weeks.

The family farm suffered some losses in strawberries and raspberries due to the heat wave in July because it was impossible to pick the ripe fruit quickly enough, he said. Cultivated blackberries are typically larger with a slightly different flavour than wild, he said. A pint sells for $7.50.
