Delaney Farms — Attraction in Town of Onondaga

The Delaney farm is on Kasson Road just north of where it crosses the Seneca Turnpike. They're currently (in August) selling corn, tomatoes and peppers. You can purchase the corn soon after it's picked, shuck it there into a basket on the floor so the leaves can be recycled as fertilizer for next year's crop, drive home and steam the ears for 5 minutes or so, insert cob holders, apply liberal amounts of butter and salt, and enjoy the most delicious corn you've ever tasted. I'm serious, if you're used to eating grocery store corn, this fresh corn is going to amaze you. By not storing it for days, the sugar can still be tasted as it hasn't had time to be converted to starch by enzymes that are still active in corn after it's been picked.

I'm sorry it took me so late in the season to find them. ...

Love Delaney Farms! Produce is excellent corn, kale, tomatoes etc. Also the spring plants are vibrant and reasonably priced. Joanne is very nice, knowledgeable person to deal with. And cash only is NOT a problem...nothing wrong with old school. Hats off to...
