Does anything say late summer like fresh corn on the cob? Get your ears at multiple locations in and around Sumner. And remember, while you might want to get that selfie in the field, this is a food crop that a farmer needs to sell to the public. Unless in a designated area, resist the temptation to recreate Fields of Dreams and start walking through the stalks.

Season: Late Summer to Early Fall

How to enjoy: Get the ears fresh and dive in, whether you grill/steam the ears for corn on the cob or cut the kernels for options including salads, sides and salsas.
