BRIGHTON, Colo. — It's nearing the end of sweet corn season at Petrocco Farms in Brighton. The fields are busy with workers and machines. Dust and corn husks whip around the tractor as it moves steadily down the rows.'This is some of the last corn of the season, and we like to harvest in the morning when it’s cool,' said Joe Petrocco, vice president of Petrocco Farms .Many of these ears of corn are headed to grocery shelves and restaurants, but some won't make the grade.
'Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for fresh food has risen. Produce is the top-requested item at the Food Bank of the Rockies. That's why they partner with local growers for a win-win relationship.'We’re able to take some of their produce that they can’t sell through retail because it’s oversized or undersized or has a small blemish. But it’s still perfectly nutritious, perfectly edible, beautiful produce,' said Daszkiewicz.
