The story of glass gem corn.
Seedsman Greg Schoen got the seed from Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee man, now in
his 80's, in Oklahoma.
He was Greg's
"corn-teacher". Greg was in the process of moving last year and
wanted someone else to store and protect some of his seeds.
He left samples of several corn
varieties, including glass gem. I grew out a small handful this past summer
just to see.
The rest, as they say is history. I
got so excited, I posted a picture on Facebook. We have never seen anything like this.
Unfortunately, we did not grow out enough to sell. Look for a small amount for
sale starting in August 2011. Thanks, bill
