Sweet Corn Season is Here! 🌽

Fresh, locally grown Michigan Sweet Corn is back at Zehnder’s, and it’s as delicious as ever! Each week, we hand-shuck over 100 dozen ears to bring you the freshest flavor of summer.

Our sweet corn is proudly sourced from Munch’s Produce (Essexville, MI) and Carigan Family Farm (Saginaw, MI), two local farms we’re honored to support.
