Someone, I don't remember who, told me a while ago, that the Anderson Farms Stand near the Green in Wethersfield has the best corn. After trying it for the first time last weekend, I have to admit that they were onto something.
I had driven by Anderson before, but it never occurred to me to stop. Last weekend, my wife requested fresh corn. And Anderson was in the perfect location in light of my other errands. They have more than just corn, but they have a tent for the corn, and a tent for the other stuff. The Heirloom Tomatoes looked great, and they had Liuzzi (a great Italian Market in North Haven) Fresh Burrata too.
But it's about the corn. They had three kinds. Yellow. Silver Queen. And some sort of hybrid. I'm a simple man. So I went with all yellow. You don't just grab your corn. They have corn concierge service. You tell them what you want. And they try to find you the good ears. They also peeled back the top of the husk to ensure you weren't getting a Dud.
The corn was beautiful yellow. It was perfectly rounded and full at the top. It tasted great.
I don't go around trying ALL the corn from ALL the stands. But I can't remember better corn in these parts.
