Funny story. I was early waiting for my friends in a parking lot for lunch. A guy was there with large burlap bags (tow sacks) of unhusked corn on the cob in the bed of his truck. His old truck was like the one my grandfather use to have and I told him his truck made me smile. He said it belonged to his father and now his I asked him if that was corn from a well known farm a few hours away. He said yes he was there to bring pre sold orders to be picked up. I asked if he had extra to sell. He said no, it's all paid for and should be picked up. A few minutes later he came over to me and said a customer called and cannot come get the corn she ordered and he wasn't coming back to this area. He said it was already paid for and I could have it. I put the two big sacks of corn in my car and when I told my friends I had corn from the farm to share they couldn't believe it. One was more excited to have the big burlap bag with the farm logo on it.
