The farm's corn harvest is a perfect time to make this Southern favorite. Although “bread” is in the name, its consistency is closer to a pudding which allows it to be served with a spoon. The annual spoon-bread festival is held in Berea, Kentucky in September. This recipe utilizes cornmeal and Silver Queen sweet corn from our fields.
