Looking for a simple way to take your corn to the next level? Try this easy 10-Minute Grilled (or Roasted) Street Corn! 🌽🔥

🌽 Easy 10-Minute Market Street Corn
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of fresh market sweet corn (in the husk!)
- 2 tbsp mayo or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese
- Fresh cilantro & a pinch of chili powder
- Fresh lime juice

Instructions:
- Cook: Leave the husks on and toss the corn straight on a hot grill (or roast in the oven at 400°F) for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally. The husks steam the corn inside perfectly!
- Peel: Carefully peel back the husks and silky threads.
- Top: Brush with a thin layer of mayo/yogurt, sprinkle over your cheese, cilantro, chili powder, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime! 🍋‍🟩

Market Tip: Using SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, WIC, or Senior Vouchers? You can use your benefits to stock up on fresh sweet corn across our farm stalls!

💡 DID YOU KNOW? 🌾🚜

August is National Farmers Market Month, and we’re sharing a fact that might surprise you: According to agricultural studies, conventional grocery store produce travels an average of 1,500 MILES before it ever hits your plate! 🚚💨 (Source: Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture)

That means the fruits and veggies in big box stores can sit in trucks and warehouses for 7 to 14 days, losing flavor and nutrients along the way.

Here’s the Farmers Market difference:
🚜 Harvested Hours Ago: Most produce at our market was picked right here in Oregon within 24 hours of you buying it.
🥗 Maximum Nutrition: Fresher food = higher nutrient levels and unbeatable, sun-ripened flavor.
💵 100% Direct Support: Every dollar you spend stays in our local economy, directly supporting local family farms instead of long-distance supply chains!

When you shop at the market, you get the freshest food possible while keeping our community thriving.

Come taste the difference this Wednesday! 👋💚
