Winter Squash
Winter squash, members of the Cucurbitaceae family and relatives of both the melon and the cucumber, come in many different varieties. While each type varies in shape, color, size and flavor, they all have hard protective skins that are difficult to pierce that gives them a long storage life of up to six months and a hollow inner seed containing cavity.
We grow Butternut, Sunshine, Acorn, Buttercup & Sweet Dumpling Varieties.
STORAGE
Winter squash should be stored at room temperature - and dry. Keep in paper bags or baskets out of direct sunlight and they will last months.
