Cucurbita moschata. 90 days. As market growers, we knew that winter squash storability and flavor improve with ripeness, so we were always on the lookout for an early butternut variety that matured well here in Oregon. Some hybrids come close, but most OPs require a longer growing season than we can provide. In 2005, we…
Cucurbita pepo. 90 days. We cannot get enough of this squash. We could eat it nearly every day all winter. A large Honey Boat type with extremely thick flesh and delicious rich flavor. Most delicata have a honey sweet or even maple flavor, but Candystick Dessert delicata has a richer date-like flavor that is truly…

Hardneck unique type / unclassified Named after a fictional planet, Yuggoth Garlic is a strange and special beast. It may appear from a distance that the bright white bulbs with occasional purple striping is just your average garlic. It is anything but. The distinctive, perfectly round shape hides purple-skinned cloves that fit together like a…
