Penobscot pumpkin
$5.00Penobscot pumpkin
$5.00The Penobscot is a gifted seed from Fred Wiseman and the Seeds of renewal project in Vermont. It is similar to a zucchini in the way it grows around the crown base of the plant. The summer squash is delicious in pies and soups and really goes well with any spice that you add to it, almost magnifying the flavour. Very rare and delicious plant.

These are the most interesting and versatile pumpkins we sell. They have a delicious flesh that is nutty and bright orange/yellow. The shell or skin of the pumpkin is almost a gourd like bowl so you can harvest the flesh and then use the bowl afterwards. But the piece de resistance is that the seeds are naked seeds. They can be eaten immediately because they don’t have a protective shell around the actual seed. So yummy and a treat in the garden, you will need to stop yourself from planting it everywhere!
This seed was selected by Will Bonsall from the Scattered Seeds project and shared with Le Noyau farms. Will has shared that the original seeds are from Macedonia, however, he is still doing research on the specific origins of the seeds. We will keep you posted.

This beautiful and delicious squash is the ancestor of the well known butternut squash. It still packs a delicious punch and is very versatile in the kitchen. Either when you are making soup, casseroles or salads, you can include this wonderful squash.
I originally got these seeds from Dave Arquette, a Mohawk seed saver from Akwesasne who I had the chance to meet when I went to the 6 Nations seed festival in 2017.
