Roy's Calais flint corn is an open-pollinated flint corn originally cultivated by the western Abenaki (Sokoki) people in Vermont, and subsequently grown and maintained by pioneer farmers, including Roy and Ruth Fair of North Calais, Vermont. Roy's Calais is slightly sticky and can be eaten as a sweet corn, but is mostly used for posole or hominy. It has a buttery aroma and a rich, creamy flavor, and a protein content significantly higher than most flint corns. Its brief time to harvest (90-95 days to dry field corn) makes Roy's Calais a reliable cultivar for short-season growing areas.

We are a small family farm in the hills of Sheffield. All of our produce is grown with a compost-based system that uses chickens, pigs, and goats in rotation with cover crops. We believe in creating healthy soil the way nature intended which results in the natural disease and pest resistance all plants are capable of. We specialize in Vermont-hardy crops such as carrots, fingerling potatoes, a wide variety of greens, winter squash and many other classic vegetables.
