Punkin' Pickin'

Fall is only 2 short weeks away, so it's time to start harvesting the pumpkins! The squash and pumpkins have thrived in this cool, fall-like weather and will be available starting this weekend. We have all sizes and shapes of pumpkins, some for eatin' and some for sittin' on the front porch with a pot of mums for a beautiful fall display. Bring the kids and pick out that perfect Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin, and don't forget a pie pumpkin for homemade pie!

Also available this weekend will be our selection of homegrown winter squash. If you've never enjoyed a fresh baked winter squash, you've missed out on one of the pleasures of fall. Simply slice one open, clean out the cavity and fill it with your favorite things: brown sugar, nuts, raisins, butter, cinnamon or maple syrup, then bake til the squash is tender. It's delicious as a side dish, or stuffed with savory ingredients for a filling main course. The other great thing about winter squash is their 'keeping' qualities. In a cool, dark, dry basement, winter squash will keep for months on end making them a great option for cold storage.

Come on out and enjoy the flavor of the season at Huck's!
