Save the Harvest!
Adopt - A - Squash 🎃
Our Nevada farmers have had an incredibly bountiful winter squash season and we are happily helping them move this tremendous amount of food. Help save the harvest by ordering a 40-pound box of local winter squash for just $50!
The majority of the winter squash available this year are winter luxury pumpkins! These pumpkins are a cheery, bright orange color, and have a distinctive netting covering the skin. They average 3-7 pounds each, making them the perfect size for one to two pies.
We also have smaller amounts of the following varieties and will include one or two other squash chosen at random for each box: Acorn Squash, Baby Bear Squash, Blue Hubbard Squash, Buttercup Squash, Butternut Squash, Delicata Squash, Futsu Squash, Honeynut Squash, Kabocha Squash, Spaghetti Squash, Sugar Pie Pumpkin, Winter Luxury Pie Pumpkin.

A few words of nutritional wisdom from our in-house nutritionist:
Michelle Nash
Nutrition & Dietary Support Specialist
Certified NTP & MScN
The Great Basin Community Food Co-op
Winter squash refers to varieties of squash that are harvested once fully matured so that the skin is harder and the seeds are larger and tougher. They are called such because they store well and can be a good food source through long, cold winters and are best stored in a dark, dry, and cool location to preserve the flavor and freshness.
The leaves, tendrils, shoots, stems, flowers, seeds, and fruit from the squash are all edible. Winter squash is a good source of many beneficial nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, and fiber, as well as the minerals potassium and magnesium. As indicated by their dark yellow-orange insides, winter squash is rich in the carotenoid anti-oxidant beta-carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A.
Because Vitamin A is fat soluble, it is important to consume fat with vitamin A-containing foods in order to maximize its absorption. So, don’t be shy to put a hefty bit of butter, ghee, or coconut oil in with your beautiful winter squash preparations. 🧈 🥥 🎃

Dan, Rachel, and their son, Atlas, have created a veggie and chicken paradise. Atlas's eggs are already on the co-op shelves. His hens are fed organic feed and plenty of fresh homegrown fruits and veggies. As you can see, their pup is feeling a bit shy.
