Fun At The Lake

I wrote a couple weeks ago about all of the local farm stands you can stop at on the way up to the lake.  Well, all that writing made me really start craving some fresh corn and tomatoes, so when I headed up to Lake Webster, I stopped at a local favorite - Sweet Corn Charlie's.  I've never heard of Sweet Corn Charlies, but my friend who has been going up to Northern Indiana for many years has gone there several times.  Sweet Corn Charlie's has 8 farms across Northern Indiana, but they have a stand a couple miles down the road from Lake Webster. 

Their Syracuse location is on Pickwick Drive, at the DQ intersection, next to the Family Dollar Store.  Look for the Yellow and White Tent.

Hours:
Monday - Friday 10:00 - 5:45
Saturday 10:00 - 4:30
Sunday Closed

Next time you stay at our vacation home Indiana cabin - you must try this place!  We pick up tomatoes, corn and watermelon and I have to admit that they were the best I have had in a long time.  They have a variety of tomatoes, all for the same price, so we got a couple antique tomatoes and made a very colorful caprese salada (tomato, mozzarella and basil) and also got some green tomatoes and made fried green tomatoes.  We boiled the corn and chopped up the watermelon and had a delicious meal for the whole family. 

If you're looking for a way to connect with your family, take them on an Indiana Weekend Getaway: rent the Take It Easy Cabin, pick out fresh fruit/veggies from Sweet Corn Charlie's, then cook dinner together.
