Corn typically ripens from July to late August in Illinois. July and August dominate throughout most of the U.S.as the months for Corn production (and festivals) .
There are two general types of Corn festivals 1) community festivals, usually organized by a church, school, local Chamber of commerce or a town and 2).
Corn festival held at and by a farm. They are different in what they
offer, and
community festivals tend to be less expensive so they are grouped separately.
(of course not all states and areas have both.)
Following the
festival listings are links to our easy to follow directions about
making freezing corn, canning corn
much more.
In addition to community and church festivals, some private farms have their own Corn festivals. See each farm for this year's dates (they often do not announce them until the end of June). Also, scroll down to see the links to recipes, freezing, canning and jam making directions at the bottom of the page.
You can easily freeze the sweet corn and have that great taste in the dead of winter!
