The Butternut Squash, with its bell-like shape and smooth, tan exterior, is a winter squash favorite that offers a sweet, nutty flavor reminiscent of a pumpkin. Its firm flesh boasts a vibrant orange hue, indicative of the rich beta-carotene content within. This squash is encased in a hard outer skin that, once peeled, reveals a dense, succulent interior. The Butternut Squash is incredibly versatile, perfect for roasting, pureeing for soups, or cubed and added to stews and curries. When cooked, it transforms into a velvety, richly flavored addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Aside from its delightful taste, Butternut Squash is nutritionally dense, brimming with vitamins A and C, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious consumers looking to add more vegetables to their diet.

To curate the best quality and quantity of produce we will sometimes pull from a variety of producers. We look to other growing regions for those items that are impossible or difficult to consistently grow well in our region. Any produce coming from out-of-state will be clearly labelled with it's place of origin.
