Cascadian Farm Organic Goodness

Have you seen Where The Wild Things Are yet? Well we were pretty excited when we it came out, because - WE WERE IN IT!

Ok, that's not exacty true...we nobody who works for Cascadian Farm was actually in the movie, but our frozen sweet corn does make an appearance when Max's mom is trying to get him to eat his vegetables.

Sadly, Max wasn't too keen on frozen vegetables, and sort of threw a temper tantrum about the whole thing. That hurts a little, but it also set him on his way to find the wild things, so in the end it all worked out!

Way to go Max's mom for feeding your son good food! And thanks fair food fight for posting your story! Check it out: Where The Whild Things Are: At Cascadian Farm

These days, it seems that everyone's got a bone to pick with corn. Whether it be discussions about ethanol and the amount of energy used to produce it, the fact that so much of the corn we grow in the Midwest is inedible for humans (thanks to the movie "King Corn" helping to bring that point home in a big way), the fact that it's fed to animals who should be eating grass, or the fact that corn is transformed into corn syrup and guzzled down by the 6-pack, it can be hard for us to remember how incredibly delicious sweet corn really is. We're in the midst of corn growing season right now, and I'm pretty sure I'm eating the tastiest stuff ever - no butter required. We're grilling it by the bushel these days, and consuming it in as many ways as we can. Jalapeno corn bread? Check! Polenta? Check! Corn ice cream with honey? Check!
