Default Where can I get sweetcorn seeds which is not a hybrid?

The non-hybrid sweet corn wont stay sweet very long after picking it. An
old saying here is that "if you are running to the house with a load of
sweet corn you've just picked for processing, and you fall down, throw it
away and go after another load". The point being that the sweetness didn't
last very long after picking.

The new hybrids will stay sweet for several days after being picked. If you
are going to pick only enough at one time to eat right away, non-hybrid will
be OK.

Why do you want non-hybrid sweetcorn?
