We all know that corn is king. In the southern tier of New York State, sweet corn is available at every farm stand. When we planted our first family garden, we grew heirloom sweet corn. Eventually it seemed rather silly to give so much garden space to a vegetable that we could drive around the corner and buy so we decided to discontinue the practice.

As our garden expanded, along with our self-reliance, we began growing items that we were able to store and enjoy well into the long, cold winter months. One of the items we explored was popcorn.
