“The best sweet corn doesn’t travel.
It shouldn’t have to.”

— Tuxedo Corn · Olathe, Colorado

The Corn

You can taste
the altitude.

Olathe Sweet was developed for the Uncompahgre Valley — five thousand, three hundred and sixty feet above the sea, where the daytime sun hits the husk and the nights cool it back down before sunrise. That diurnal swing is what loads every kernel with sugar; nothing we do in the kitchen can replicate it, and nothing in a greenhouse can grow it.

The ear in the photograph was picked the morning it was shot. The silk on the right is still damp. We don’t airbrush the field because we don’t need to.

The family behind the row

John Harold’s great-grandchildren still walk the same rows he cleared in 1982.

The Olathe Sweet parent line was rescued from a retiring farmer who believed his valley could grow sugar in a husk. We brought it back to the same soil, learned how it liked the water, and kept the seed — by hand, ear by ear — for forty summers. The name on the cooler is the name on the deed.

Harvest · 2026

The shape of an
Olathe summer.

Forty summers of the same seed, the same soil, and the same row. The diurnal swing that loads the kernel with sugar is a property of this valley — not a recipe we can take with us.

Our Story

Three generations of
sweet corn excellence.

Tuxedo Corn is the exclusive grower and shipper of Olathe Sweet Sweet Corn — developed for Colorado's high-altitude mountain climate and grown by the same family for over 40 years.

  1. 1982

    A seed saved

    The original Olathe Sweet parent line was kept by a farmer who believed his valley could grow sugar in a husk.

  2. 2003

    A field retired, then revived

    After a five-year pause the family brought the same seed back to the same soil — and the sweetness came back with it.

  3. Today

    Three generations on the row

    Grandparents, parents, and kids all work the summer pick — a workforce of about sixty hands during peak season.
