Squash Guide
We grow a wide variety of brightly coloured squash here at The Farm, it's always such a joy to see them piled high in the warehouse ready for customer boxes!
Our Field Team cure these magnificent veg to perfection which means that, when kept in a dry, ventilated and cool spot (ideally at around 12°C), this veg should last for months!
But do you know your Crown Prince from your Turban? We've put together a handy guide so you can get to know these farm favourites.
If this read leaves you wanting to try as many of these veg as possible then why not try one of our 7kg Squash Boxes?
