Camp Verde Cornfest 

Cornfest  goodies

Knowing how good the corn from Camp Verde is, it was time to check out Cornfest and bring some corn home.  Of course, I have already had an ear and I couldn't beleive how fresh and sweet it is. It is as if you could go into your backyard and chop an ear off the stalk! 

The craft fair was fabulous. All local vendors selling their goods that they made with loving care.  I thoroughly enjoyed talking with the local residents. These people are the salt of the earth. Everything we bought we sampled!  

Carrot Cake jam tastes like carrot cake! Of course my favorite nut is the pecan...and also my favorite piece of pie. I bought a little wooden truck for my favorite (only) grandson in his favorite color.  We got to watch the wood artist make it them right there on the spot!

The most important thing is to get out there and support the local vendors and businesses in the area. To know that each product was made with loving care just makes it all that much better!

Cornfest sounds like a delightful event, Sheri!  Corn and Watermelon are two things I eat a lot of this time of year.

HI Myrl, 


When you cut a slice of watermelon the whole area fills with that fresh scent....!

Good morning Sheri.  Creamed corn is my favorite, filled with sweetness and I love the kernels when they burst open while eating....

HI James, 


Ever since I had braces, I cut the kernels off the cob and make my own creamed corn!

Carrot Cake Jam, eh? UMM; I guess we all have  'sweet tooth' that needs to be satisfied from time-to-time. OK; now stop teasing us!

Hi Sandy & Norm, 


If I couldn't taste it, I probably wouldn't have purchased it. I am going to try a dollop on vanilla ice cream!  It is good!

Hi Sally,


These stands are about 45 minutes away but worth the drive. Fresh corn makes a big difference!

How interesting.  I was just hearing about this place and the history of it the other day, on public radio!  They sound like really nice people who grow the corn.

Thank you Amanda.  It might be hard to believe that great corn is produced in AZ but it is!  This is more a local thing for us to enjoy. Some areas in Phoenix may get this corn also!

Hi Joe, 


Coming from the mid-west I never thought I would have that type of corn or veggies in my own neck of the woods!

Hi Beth, 


This corn has the flavor of creamed corn right off the cob. Remarkable.

Sounds like a great event Sheri Sperry - MCNE® , our local corn crops got off to a slow start with a late spring. But i can not wait for sweet corn.
