\”They all say \’it\’s so early,\’ but they are so excited to see it,\” said Jamie Crescenzi, an employee at the farm market on North Broadway in Pennsville Sunday. \”They say \’it\’s finally here.\’\”
Local? This early? For sure. The corn is grown by market owner Fred DePalma who goes to extraordinary lengths to have it ready as early as possible for his customers.
While most sweet corn is planted directly into the fields where it will eventually mature, DePalma starts his earliest corn in greenhouses near the end of February or beginning of March.
