Zea mays. Flinty Dent. 90-100 days. Our main crop field corn that we grow for cornmeal, flour and for making masa. Open Oak Party Mix is the best corn we offer for nixtamalization and making your own hominy or pozole. After grinding, we sometimes sift out the coarse polenta from the flour and we have…
Zea mays. Dent. 90-100 days. One of the most beautiful and uniquely colored corns we have seen, with single colored ears ranging from striking turquoise to bright blue to purple-blue kernels. Strubbe’s Blue Dent Corn is perfect for making your own blue tortilla masa or cornmeal for cornbread. Plants grow to about 7′ tall and…
Zea mays. Flinty Dent. 90 days. After several years of collaboration with the Dry Farming Institute, we are thrilled to offer Wildfire Dent Corn, a dry farming selection of our own Open Oak Party Mix Dent Corn. Received as breeding material from Dr. Lucas Nebert, of Oregon State University. Wildfire Dent Corn has been collaboratively…
Zea mays. Flint. 85 days. This has become the corn of legends. Perfect for our taste buds and Pacific Northwest climate, it is difficult to describe without sounding overzealous. Not only does this variety produce the tastiest polenta and cornmeal we have ever tried, but it was bred just across the valley from us by…
Zea mays. Flint. 70-80 days. The earliest dry corn we have ever grown. Reliable and delicious, although not high yielding. We consider it our fail safe insurance corn crop for cold years when late spring rains prevent planting and/or early fall rains set in. Very short plants have one or two small, slender ears of…
Zea mays. Flour/Parching. 85-90 days. The stunning lavender-purple kernels of Purple Mountains Corn are held on 7-9” long, mostly 8 row cobs. Short 4-5′ plants are very early to mature and are surprisingly high yielding for such small plants. We have selected this corn for several seasons after crossing some Mandan Parching Lavender corn into…
Zea mays. Flour/Parching. 85 days. A beautiful flour corn bred by Carol Deppe, author of some of the best books on plant breeding, and breeder of many of our favorite varieties – including Candystick Delicata, Goldini 2 Zucchini, and Cascade Ruby Gold Flint Corn. Starburst Manna Parching corn produces about 50% single color ears in…
Zea mays. Popcorn. 90 days. One of the earliest maturing and easiest to grow popcorns. 6-8” ears on 6′ tall plants. Dark black kernels have a ruby-red, glassy shine when held in the right angle of light. The pointy kernels pop bright white with a small black hull still attached. The flavor is delicious, hearty…
Zea mays. Popcorn. 90 days. Early maturing, high yielding, very tasty, and with a range of captivating pink colors to boot! Early Pink Pearl is the perfect complement to Dakota Black. The 4-6” ears are very ornamental and range from dark purple-pink to a light pink pearl tone. Easily matures in our climate. Petite popped…
Zea mays. Sweet. 70-80 days. An early-mid season open pollinated, yellow sweet corn, with mixed sugar enhanced (SE) and normal sugary (SU) kernels. This combo gives Candy Mountain a rich flavor that is sweeter than “old timey” corn but not as sweet as most modern corn. The SE trait will keep this corn sweet for…
Zea mays. Sweet. 85 days. A superb addition to the list of cool, purple vegetables. Normal sugary (SU) kernels are sweet and richly flavored, but the real coup of Double Red is the ridiculously dark red color. The kernels are so red that they can turn your fingers purple when eating it. Certainly a culinary…
Zea mays. Super Sweet. 80-90 days. One of the first open pollinated super sweet (Sh2) corns! Medium-large ears have yellow, truly super sweet kernels, and hold their flavor once picked. Still a little variable in maturity and color with some pale yellow kernels, but we think this may be necessary to maintain vigor as corn…
