Corn Harvest

The Siddhidata Kulam successfully harvested the first batch of monastery corn today, bringing in a total of twenty-five pounds. During the past three months the stalks have been growing in our lower garden, waiting patiently to flower, fruit and develop. While not the first ever corn production for us, it has been years since the monks have seen corn pass through the kitchen!

Natyam Dayanatha holds the glorious bounty

This one was specially bred by the University of Hawaii to have the pointy top of the corncob free of kernals. That piece of the cob is for the worms that will infest the cornfield and is cut off after harvest. It is an offering to the worm creatures
