Exactly. Picking season is when it is cheapest here, with the overabundance of crops, it needs to get pushed out.
What is the cooler method?
I vacuum seal enough (or can the produce) and it will last all through the winter, right up until the next good season.
Winters in Michigan are unforgiving! :) But, some of the time, it really is pretty fun! Ice fishing! skating! snowshoeing! tobogganing!
Basically you just put the corn in a cooler and fill it with boiling water. Cover it and leave it for a fixed amount of time. You have to shuck it all first though. I do enjoy Michigan winters for the first couple of storms. After that I am ready for summer.
I actually didn't know you could do that! I use a lobster pot, but this sounds like you have a huge cooler. :)
