As we transition into a field corn and soy bean only farm, the packing shed gets turned into more of a barn. Farmer Scott and Jerry are building the permanent wall to close in the side of the packing shed.
Packing shed was built in the early 80s by Scott and family to better meet the needs of harvesting sweet corn after packing corn in a barn for 30 years. The packing shed was used for sweet corn harvest for 30 years. The packing shed will continue to be a great space with a new life!

happy 4th of July weekend! as many of you know, as of this summer and after nearly 60 years, we have decided to retire from growing sweet corn. 2016 was our last season. Ellis farms will remain an active farm and continue to grow all our usual grain crops.

we have made efforts to connect our wholesale customers with other farmers from the community to ensure our loyal Ellis corn enthusiasts still have a reliable source for sweet corn.

we thank you for so much loyal and enthusiastic support over the years, and wish you a safe and happy holiday.

Thanks for a great summer, everyone! We have now exhausted the sweet corn supply in the fields, and are closed for the s...

Happy weekend folks! As promised, here are your freezing instructions. It's super easy, just takes a little time. There are many methods of preserving, but we like this one as it keeps maximum flavor in the kernels. Even if you only do a few ears, it's great to have on hand as a special treat for holiday meals - stuffing, creamed corn, etc!

Short and long versions, below.

1. Begin with freshly husked corn.
2. In a pot, wok, or saucepan of boiling water, blanch the corn on the cob for 3 minutes.
3. Immediately put the cobs in cold running water to stop the cooking
4. Cut the corn off the cob.
5. Pack the corn into small freezer bags or jars, freeze, and you're done!

1. Begin with freshly husked corn. Preferably picked the day of, as we do.

2. In a pot, wok, or saucepan of boiling water, blanch the corn on the cob for 3 minutes. It's ok if the corn is not completely covered by the water—just cover the pot/pan.

3. Immediately put the cobs in cold running water to stop the cooking and cool them off, as you'll be handling them in just a minute.

4. Cut the corn off the cob. We find the easiest way to do this is to hold the cob on end and cut lengthwise. Be careful and remember, you're less likely to cut yourself with a sharp utensil than a dull one. Discard the cobs (preferably by a non-landfill method like composting!).

5. Pack the corn into small freezer bags or jars. If you're using ziplocs, you might want to put the small bags into a larger bag to protect against freezer burn. Put them in the freezer, and you're done!

Feel free to comment with any questions!

Friends, sorry to say we are sold out of corn here at the stand today.

If you are wanting to preserve corn for winter, just call a day ahead and leave us a message with your order.

This time of year, we always prepare and freeze at least a few 50-ear bags here on the farm. Keep an eye out for freezing instructions, coming soon!
