Kohut Family Farm

FEATURE STORY

ou might think of September as time to go back to school, the first batch of lazy NFL Sundays or the beginning of autumn. But at Sunterra, September means one thing: Kohut

corn season.

Grown on a family farm near Didsbury, Alberta, this is the sweetest cob of corn you’ll find. That’s thanks in part to the gourmet sweet varieties planted, and in part to the cooler central Alberta weather in late August and September.

“It’s those cold nights that actually help to create those sugars and that’s why you have such a good eating experience when you bite into Kohut corn,” says farmer Rick Kohut. Oh, and for those who’ve never tried it, you can actually bite right into a raw cob of this sweet corn, it’s that good.

Rick and the family even try to pick the corn late at night or in the early morning when it’s cool in order to preserve the sweetness and quality of the corn. Once picked, it’s delivered to our markets that same day so you can enjoy the corn at its absolute best. The season is short – usually running from the start of September until the first heavy frost – so when you see Rick unloading his truck at our market, say hi and make sure you grab some sweet corn while you can.

Kohut corn is grown without fungicides and insecticides, and Rick does not use genetically modified seeds. “We try to grow it as close to nature as possible,” says Rick.

Sure, Rick is really into his sweet corn. But he’s also got a green thumb for gourds, growing sugar pumpkins, white pumpkins and mixed gourds. If you’re making pumpkin pie this fall, Rick insists his Kohut sugar pumpkins are melt-in-your-mouth good.

“We rely completely on Mother Nature, so we can’t really control the corn so that it matures all at the same time. If we went through here with a corn harvester and picked all the cobs, the top cob might be ready, but the bottom cob would not. So we go through by hand, and that’s why when you get it in the market, every cob is perfect. We look at the silks on top of each cob, and they should be a brownish black. We also feel the cob. It’s got a certain feel to it. It will be nice and tight and there won’t be any loose husk on it and that’s kind of what we look for. It’s a combination of how it looks and feels. That’s how we determine what to pick.”

The top part of a corn plant is called the tassel, which carries pollen. The pollen drops down the plant onto the silks sticking out the top of the cobs below. Each silk is attached to a different kernel inside the husk, and each silk must receive pollen or the kernel attached to it will not grow. Once the corn matures, the silks naturally separate from the kernels and turn brownish black because they’re no longer transporting any nutrients. So if a cob has withering brown silks, the corn inside should be mature and delicious.

Grill bread lightly on both sides and rub with half the olive oil. Lay the contadino and Calabrese salami slices on the bread. Spread arugula on top.

Preheat a pan to medium, drizzle the rest of the olive oil and add the stone fruit. Stir in brown sugar and cook until the fruit is lightly browned. Turn them over and brown the other side. Mix in the strawberry slices and pinch of sea salt and remove from heat.

Spoon the caramelized fruit on the arugula and lay strips of prosciutto on top. Top with crumbled goat cheese. Cut the bruschetta crosswise into bite size portions and serve.
