not sure about corn from florida

The pick up yesterday had an intriguing array of vegetables and the arugula was delicious-very fresh and not wilted as last week. We made a cabbage and argula salad with apples. The kale was really great too, we made pasta with kale and garlis and onions and parmesan cheese.

Toby was excited by the corn and we cooked it and ate corn on the cob. But I could not get excited about it as one of my food tenets is NEVER to eat anything but native local corn mostly because the taste of local corn can never be surpassed by corn from far away.

The corn looked hopeful and organic because it was small, but it did not taste like much. So what do other people think about corn from Florida? Maybe it would be good in chili. How did you cook it? But my basic question is why get corn from Florida in December?
