Golden Bantam Sweet Corn Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer a true piece of American gardening history. This classic open-pollinated heirloom was the variety that introduced families to the rich, sweet flavor of yellow corn grown for the table—not just livestock feed. Compact, reliable, and productive, Golden Bantam is an excellent choice for home gardeners seeking dependable harvests and traditional sweet corn flavor.
Plants grow to about 5 feet tall and typically produce two well-filled ears per stalk. Ears average 6–7 inches long with 8–10 rows of juicy, tender kernels. Golden Bantam performs especially well when planted early, tolerating cooler soil better than many modern sweet corn varieties.

How to Grow Golden Bantam Sweet Corn:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after danger of frost, or plant early in cooler soils where conditions allow. Harvest ears at the milk stage, about 20 days after silks emerge. When silks begin to brown, gently pull back the husk and press a kernel with your fingernail. If the liquid is milky, the corn is ready to pick. Harvest promptly for the best sweetness and flavor.
