Queen Creek Olive Mill is grilling again.

The working olive mill and retail shop debuted “Grill in the Grove” in April. For two weekends, it drew huge crowds by grilling sausages from the nearby Pork Shop.

This weekend, the olive mill will be grilling sweet corn in conjunction with its current Sweet Corn Festival, which runs June 15 to July 15.

Four flavors of sweet corn will be offered: parmesan herb, extra virgin, chili lime and garlic and sea salt. Ears will be $1 apiece. If you want to make your own at home, the mill’s gourmet marketplace will be selling the corn and flavored oils.

In addition, the olive mill will be offering apple pie ($2.50 slice, $3.50 a la mode), watermelon, sorbet-flavored lemonade ($2.25), root beer floats ($4.50) and Four Peaks beers ($3.99).

Seating will be available inside the air-conditioned mill, outside on a shaded patio with misters and in one of the olive groves.

Patriotic customers who show an American flag get half-off iced coffee, lemonade or watermelon.

“Sweet Corn in the Grove” runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Info: (480) 888-9290.
