Roadside's Sweet Corn

Burris Farm Market In Alabama Attracts Loyal Customers

(CBS)  It's time for a trip along the CBS News Sunday Morning Roadside.

This time it was a stop at the Burris Farm Market in Loxley, Ala.

A family-owned produce market there is a local landmark. It attracts loyal customers from miles around who proclaim it as the best site for produce.

Greg Burris sells just about every kind of fruit and vegetable you can imagine. But this time of year, the featured attraction is Silver King corn, a special variety of white sweet corn that only ripens for these few weeks.

The corn is picked fresh every morning at sun-up, and according to Burris, you can't go wrong.

"It's like popping the cork on a good bottle of wine," says Burris.

Whatever its secret, customers can't seem to get enough of the Silver King corn. But they'd be wise to save room for Kay Burris' Key Lime Pie.
"[It] is a real good summer dessert," says Burris.

In Loxley, Ala., there lays a farm market that some would argue is one of the best in its field.
