An open pollinated bi-color sweet corn with good ear size, organic adaptation and vigor. About 82 days to maturity with mostly 14 rows of big deep kernels on 7 1/2" long, wide diameter cobs. The combination of white and yellow kernels on the same cob give this corn a very rich flavor in addition to the sweetness. Delicious sugary-enhanced sweet corn is an open-source variety pledged to the Open Source Seed Initiative by the late Jonathon Spero, an organic farmer/breeder in Oregon.
The Open Source Seed Initiative exists so that breeders who originate new varieties can protect them from exploitation and patenting by corporations. It means that the breeder has freely given up patent rights in order to keep the variety in the public domain forever. The OSSI pledge reads: "You have the freedom to use these OSSI-pledged seeds in any way you choose. In return, you pledge not to restrict others' use of these seeds or their derivatives, by patents or other means, and to include this pledge in any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives."
