As the leaves on the trees begin their slow decent to the ground. While this might usually be a sad sight to see for summer lovers, there is one big bright yellow and white side to it, and that’s Taber Corn being back in season!

Put simply, Taber Corn is the best because it soaks up more sun than most other corn crops. This is all thanks to Southern Alberta's location in Canada’s Premier Food Corridor! With all the extra sunshine warming the ground, Taber's corn can grow big and beautiful! Then when the sun sets, the cool Albertan nights help bring out the natural sugars that create the sweet flavours these kernels are known for! These conditions have made Taber Corn famous not just in Alberta, but all around Canada.
These growing conditions and corn are so incredible, and yield such great corn, that there are dupes and counterfeits trying to take claim of the nationally renowned Taber corn name. That being said, if you ever suspect the corn you’re getting isn’t authentic, you can always ask to see a certificate of authenticity! Any stall carrying this incredible corn will be able to show proof they have the one and only, highly corn-veted, Certificate of Authentic Taber Corn! If the Corn is grown on a Taber corn farm, then they'll have a the certificate to prove it!

They'll have their certificate at the ready, so prepare yourself and you family to get hooked on this well-known and respected crop.
