So, when exactly can you expect to get your hands on some fresh Cali corn? Well, it all starts in June, when the first batches of corn start rolling in from the Sacramento Valley and the San Joaquin Valley. These regions are like the corn capitals of California, producing some of the sweetest and most tender corn you've ever tasted.
As the summer heats up, so does the corn production, with July and August being the peak months for corn harvest. This is when you'll find corn stands and farmers' markets overflowing with heapings of fresh corn, just begging to be grilled, boiled, or slathered with butter and devoured. And, let's be real, who can resist the allure of a corn on the cob smothered in Cotija cheese and chili powder?
But, don't worry, corn lovers, the season doesn't end there! September and October still have plenty of corny goodness to offer, with the added bonus of crisp fall air and pumpkin spice everything. It's like the ultimate fall fest, with corn at the center of it all.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "What about the rest of the year?" Well, let's just say that's when the corn magic happens. Farmers are busy planting and tending to their cornfields, getting ready for the next season's harvest. It's like a corn conspiracy, but in a good way, because it means we get to enjoy more corn in the long run!
