Colonial Village Farmers Market

Sep 04, 2018 - I normally have a good time visiting this farmers market. However, this past Friday I bought corn from a vendor. I asked him about the corn and he said "have you heard about the corn that you can eat and don't have to cook?". I knew he was talking about the Mirai corn that is sold in this area. So I bought from him. He also would not let you choose the ears of corn your wanted. Instead he reached into the side of his van and put the ears in a bag for you. I normally pull back the tassels a bit to see if there is any rot of any kind. When I got home, i shucked all the corn and sure enough there was rotting on about a third of the dozen ears. Also, it was not Mirai corn or anything like it. Much of the corn was already drying out in patches. It was just terrible. I kept wondering if he truly was a vendor that had applied with the City to sell his produce? His van said Harvard on it. I just have a feeling he may not have even grown the corn he was selling. I wish the City would visit this Colonial Village site to see if the vendors selling are the ones who signed up to sell. Thank you.
