“At Covert Farms we grow the most amazing Peaches & Cream Corn, which inspired us to make a classic “Antojito” or Mexican street snack. “Elote con Crema” is a simple dish that translates as “Corn with Cream” but the secret is the fresh ingredients you garnish the corn with. This dish reflects a true taste of the harvest and is perfect for any fall menu.” Farm Chef Derek Uhlemann.
