“Just picked it this morning,” Brad Oliver told a motorist who stopped to ask the price.

“Four ears for a dollar,” Oliver told him. The man pulled over and parked.

For five-year-old Evalyn Sanders, the corn was as sweet as candy.

Oliver said his corn is called Sugar Pearl, planted from seeds purchased from Irish Eyes, a seed company in Ellensberg, Washington.

The Cuddy Creek farmer said he’s sold over a thousand ears in the last week.

The family is also selling garlic and shallots, all grown on their property between Frazier Park and Lake of the Woods.
