Living on Long Island (which has a great farming community) was the best for fresh produce... corn being the highlight.
My family used to take trips around to the farm stands and prey on the ears of corn roasted and boiled in buttered water for hours, served up as a snack...
Great... now I'm hungry....
When I was a kid, my uncle grew a field of sweet corn and a field of cow corn which was behind and adjacent to my Father's property as a kinda side-gig. (Family full of farmers but farms were closed decades ago). It was wonderful to be able to go out back and pick a paper bag full of ears and boil them up.
Fresh sweet corn is awesome with real butter, salt, and pepper. Just keep the toothpicks nearby.
