Heat up the grill for this seasonal treat

As the scorching heat of summer finally gives way to milder temperatures, fall is the best time to cook outside in Florida. Next time you fire up the grill, leave some room for a few ears of corn to make a vibrant salad that will liven up any meal. 

Sweet corn, known for its tender kernels and natural sweetness, thrives in Florida’s sandy soils and warm climate. It’s one of our top agricultural commodities, with more than 37,000 acres devoted to it throughout the state. The season runs from October to June. Keep a lookout for sweet corn at farmer’s markets and roadside stands. By sourcing local ingredients, you’ll get the freshest, tastiest produce while supporting our community.
