Squash

Sam Dhillon Farms proudly cultivates a splendid variety of squash, each offering unique flavors and textures suitable for a myriad of dishes. From the stringy fun of Spaghetti Squash to the sweet richness of Butternut, our squash are a highlight of the harvest season.

• Spaghetti Squash: This unique variety is named for its flesh, which separates into spaghetti-like strands after cooking. Light and mildly flavored, it's a fantastic gluten-free pasta substitute. Ideal for pairing with tomato-based sauces or a simple dressing of butter and herbs.

• Acorn Squash: Recognizable by its ridged, acorn-like shape, this squash has a sweet, nutty flavor. Its firm texture holds up well when baked or stuffed, making it a versatile choice for both sweet and savory dishes.

• Butternut Squash: Perhaps the most popular variety, Butternut Squash boasts a sweet, buttery flesh that is perfect for soups and purees. Its smooth texture and rich flavor also make it a great addition to risottos and bakes.

• Kabocha Squash: Also known as Japanese pumpkin, Kabocha has a sweet, intensely flavorful flesh with a texture that is a cross between a sweet potato and a pumpkin. It’s excellent in curries, as a tempura, or simply roasted to enhance its natural sweetness.

Each type of squash at our farm is not only a feast for the taste buds but also packed with health benefits. Squash are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fibers that help improve skin health, boost vision, and promote digestive health. Our carefully curated growing practices ensure each squash is nurtured to perfection, ready to bring warmth and nutrition to your autumn and winter tables.
