Description:

Sturdy plants produce medium-large ears with white kernels. Ears fill out well. Especially good for grits; also cornmeal, hominy, etc. A 120-day, long-season dent corn. Lodging has not been a problem for us. We've been growing and selecting this off and on for 10+ years at Twin Oaks and Living Energy Farm and Care of the Earth Farm and continue to be impressed with its productivity in both wet and dry conditions.
Tested free of GMO contamination in a 10,000 kernel PCR test at Foodchain ID Testing (accurate to 99.99%). Note that this is an expensive test, so it does add to the cost of the seed. 85 seeds/oz. Grown by Care of the Earth Community Farm and Twin Oaks Seed Farm. Original seedstock from Harold Jerrell, through Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. Please call us for shipping rates on orders over 25 pounds. (540) 223-5861.

Update 6/1/2023: The 2022 seed crop we just started selling came in at 84% in the germination test, on the low side for field corn. Please be aware of this when you order, and know also that we will also send an extra 20% of seed above the purchased weight.

    I am interested in 1 pound of this seed for next spring planting. What is the price including shipping and also for 2 pounds? I planted some of this corn about 12 years ago and it was the best tasting field corn I ever eat. Also, when should I order it? Thanks, Billy.

    • We are in the process of transitioning into the sales season. We need to update this variety listing - it is one we plan to lower the price on, pending a look at the backup inventory, and germination testing. So please check back in two weeks (around Nov. 7th). Shipping for one pound is $7; shipping for 2 pounds is $9. Edmund for CWSG
