Wife confirmed corn sign is up..too bad she drives the opposite direction coming home :(

Just an FYI, corn from Chilliwack is not Chilliwack corn, as in, a specific type of corn. It’s just your average corn that grows just about anywhere in the valley. I think they should call it Spuzzum Corn, Lol. People sure get excited over it.

People should sign a petition to have the corn officially recognized as a variety, lol. The reason why the corn is so popular is that it’s grown pretty close and it’s fresh. Freshness is what makes the corn great.

I should plant corn in my backyard next year. Get Frip to bless it and call it Flipped MG1 corn.

MG1 07-17-2018 08:42 PM

Bought some of the chilliwack corn from that stand but I don't find it too sweet. Is there sweeter corn in another local pop up truck or farmer market?

MG1 07-26-2018 12:47 AM

I prefer bi-colour/peaches and cream variety than the local, bland corn.

Thinking of growing my own................. lol, used to say that in the 60's, but not corn.

Any sighting?

unit 06-25-2019 07:22 AM

drove by 2 weeks ago, saw nothing... might try again today.. will report back.

Hondaracer 06-25-2019 10:29 AM

Corn aint out yet it seems.. drove from penticton to chilliwack yesterday and not one of the signs says corn, and even the yellow barn by the highway in chilliwack didnt have any corn signs, so i'm assuming its a little early... for corn at least

Dragon-88 06-25-2019 10:40 AM

Greek Fest is starting from July 4-14th. So the farmers will probably be out after that.

Isn't corn season sometime in August and September ?

Right now blueberries are almost available in the Richmond farms starting June 28th

rsx10 06-25-2019 01:13 PM

I'm more for the cherries. They have the best selection including rainier. They usually come out when the cherries come out.

unit 06-25-2019 05:28 PM

I drove by today, the greek fest setup is still quarantining the whole parking lot. I don’t understand, dont festivals pop up overnight? Why is something that will open in 2 weeks already 2 weeks into its setup? Down the block, there is usually another fruit stand right off 29th, but that one isnt there either. There was a sign though, so i suspect it will show up any day now. Ive always preferred the chinese ladies in their van though.

Raid3n 06-25-2019 08:01 PM

the church has been renovating the parking lot for the last month or two

unit 07-05-2019 07:54 AM

fruit stands are there now!
the chinese ladies are in the church parking lot, it's just hard to see but they're in there.
also the one at 28th is there as well.

rsx10 07-05-2019 08:15 AM

The one on 28th?

unit 07-05-2019 08:35 AM

theres always been two right. the chinese ladies with the van in the church lot, then on 28th there's another one which is a slightly larger setup. just one block from each other!

rsx10 07-05-2019 01:43 PM

Ohhhhhh. I've seen that setup but never tried. Anyone else try it?

Tried both.

Both are pretty good. I alternate between both.

Guy selling blueberries on Kingsway and Church's at 33rd.

Sometimes I see a white van on Marine Dr towards Market Crossing selling corn (later in the summer).

Anyone try white van selling seafood?
