Golden Bantam Sweet Corn
80 days. Open-pollinated.
 
Golden Bantam is an heirloom sweet corn variety first introduced to the public by Burpee in 1903, though its rumored to have been developed many years prior by a farmer named William Chambers from Greenfield, Massachusetts.
 
Origins aside, this variety grows tall, sturdy stalks that produce 7 inch long ears of corn loaded with rows of golden kernels that are deliciously sweet and full of flavor.
