Pungo Creak Butcher Dent Corn - We love this corn and had to bring in at least a little bit for ourselves. Hopefully Southern Expsosure will have theirs back in stock soon as our own supply is limited but we are making some available.
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange - We are excited about this one. It is always fun sourcing new corns to try. Corn gets a bad wrap for health but corns like this are filled with minerals and nutrients and part of a well rounded diet, heirloom corns deliver nutrition.
