mennonite sorghum
Mennonite Sorghum (syrup & grain)

(Sorghum bicolor)
100 seeds
Grown for syrup as well as grain, depending on when you harvest. In a single season it is possible to harvest grain, cut the stalks, and allow it to grow back for a syrup harvest. Syrup can be made from the first stalks after harvesting grain, but the sugar content will be lower.
Sorghum makes a remarkable flour and is extremely easy to harvest, winnow, and grind. As a matter of fact, most store bought flour is made from a mix of ground sorghum and wheat.
Direct sow in garden or field after last frost. Sorghum likes it warm, so don't get in a hurry. Wait until the soil temperature is 70 degrees and not excessively wet.
Thinly broadcast seeds across rows, spacing seeds about 6 inches apart.

Tall (12 feet or higher) stalks that are some of the most resilient to wind lodging of any variety of corn we have grown, despite being so tall.

Double red sweet corn
Double Red Sweet Corn (Sweet, SU, Normal Sugary)

(Zea mays)
100 seeds
SKU: DRC-1 100


This rare open-pollinated sweet corn variety is truly one of a kind! As far as red corn goes, double red is as dark as it gets (almost purple to black). In fact, the plants are so loaded with anthocyanin pigments that the leaves, stalks & husks are deep red as well. Anthocyanin pigments are a natural source of anti-oxidants & act as an anti-inflammatory.
5-7 foot tall plants produce 1 to 2 ears per stalk.
Direct sow in garden or field in spring 8 inches apart in rows. Corn is wind pollinated so it is imperative that it be planted in a block of at least 5 rows. Corn can handle a frost, but may not germinate well in cool wet soil.
85 days
Harvest fresh for corn on the cob, or wait until it dries on the stalks for grinding (makes good cornmeal or grits too!).
