Our Farm Stand is OPEN today from 9AM-7PM and our Corny Crew is ready to serve you more Snyders Corn!

🌽 FREEZING SNYDER’S CORN FOR WINTER 🌽

Want to enjoy Snyder’s Sweet Corn all winter?!? Freezing your own is easy…and SO much better than packaged frozen corn!

🌽 BOIL…Cook corn for 3 minutes after the water returns to a boil.

🌽 COOL…Cool the cobs in cold water.

🌽 CUT & FREEZE…Cut kernels off the cob and spread on parchment. Freeze about 1½ hours, then transfer to freezer bags. Squeeze out the air, seal and lay flat.

🌽 TIP…I prefer freezing kernels instead of whole cobs. IMO, the cob acts like a sponge and you lose that crisp summer crunch when reheating! Plus, kernels take up MUCH less freezer space!

🌽 ENJOY…Reheat frozen corn with a little water for 5–8 minutes. Drain, add butter, salt and pepper…and it will taste like summertime!

🌽 HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU FREEZE?

From October until July is about 38 weeks. If 1 cob = about 1 cup of kernels, and you eat about ½ cup of frozen corn per meal, you can easily figure out how much your family needs to enjoy Snyder’s Corn once a week all winter!

🌽 The taste of summer doesn’t have to end when the season does! 🌽

Amazing day at today! Even got to chat with our Mayor

July brought a slower pace to the Hamilton-Burlington real estate market. Sales were down 11% compared to last July, and new listings also declined by 17.6%.

Even with fewer new listings, inventory remains higher than we're used to seeing, giving buyers more choice and stronger negotiating opportunities. Home prices are also down 4.9% year over year, creating potential opportunities for buyers who have been waiting for the right time.

That said, affordability continues to be a challenge, and every neighbourhood is performing a little differently. That's why local market knowledge matters more than ever.

Thinking about buying or selling? We'd be happy to help you understand what's happening in your neighbourhood. !

Waiting feels like the cautious move. And sometimes it genuinely is.

But in the GTHA right now, staying on the fence can also come with a very real monthly cost attached to it, and most people never actually stop to calculate what that cost is before deciding to wait.

It’s not just about whether the market goes up or down next month.

It’s the carrying costs adding up on a property you already know you want to sell. It’s continuing to pay rent month after month while your down payment sits untouched. It’s the difference between what a home costs today versus what it could realistically cost six months from now if the fall market picks up the way many expect it to.

And the interesting part is, the math itself usually is not that complicated.

Most people just never sit down and run the numbers properly, so the decision to “wait” ends up being based more on emotion or uncertainty than actual cost.

That’s what this carousel is about.

Swipe through and see what waiting could actually be costing you right now.

And if you want to look at your own numbers specifically, DM me “MATH” and we’ll walk through it together.

As you swipe through, you'll find a few things we encourage every buyer to pay attention to before falling in love with a property. These details can make a big difference in how a home lives today and how well it holds its value over time.

Buying a home isn't just about finding one you love—it's about finding one that truly works for your lifestyle.

When you're ready, we're here to help.
