Sweetcorn tomorrow (Monday 8/3) from 6:30am-11am AND from 5pm until sold out! In Methodist church lot by Gillespie’s elementary school. This could likely be our last pick of the season, get it while it lasts!

‼️Afraid you won’t finish your corn while it’s fresh? Try out one of the many ways to freeze your corn to enjoy over the fall and winter! ‼️

- FFA Field Manager and Chapter Treasurer, Bryce Stoecker, says he and his family put theirs straight into the freezer, husks and all! So easy!
- Advisor Mrs. Marston (formerly Ms. Wills) and her family shucks the corn, cuts off the kernels, cooks with butter and water, cools, then freezes!
- One Gillespie FFA alumni member says it’s a MUST to put garlic butter on the corn, wrap it in foil, and put directly on the grill or bonfire coals!

🌽How do you like your sweetcorn?? 🌽
