Bryant Field Corn

We really look forward to growing Bryant Corn this year! Earlier this year we received three ears of this special Caldwell County Heirloom that the Bryant family has grown for generations. At one point, it was even grown right over the hill in Buffalo Cove. It's a great all-purpose old-timey corn, and looks like a type of "gourdseed corn." Saving corn seed's a bit of a challenge compared to other plants, but it's very important that we do our part to keep special, local, heritage corn strains going. As an added bonus, field corn makes a great scaffold for certain types of breans!
