Formerly grown by New England's Algonquins, this squash is now very rare. Like most of First Nations' varieties, its genetic make-up makes it very hardy.
Its oblong shape makes it look a bit like a zucchini. It is also reminiscent of the Long Pie pumpkin, but the algonquin pumpkin is a bit smaller. It should be harvested when still green, except where it touches the soil. When this part starts to turn golden, it is time to pick the fruit up and let it ripen indoors, until it turns a nice orange shade.
The flesh tastes like sweet hazelnuts, and is not fibrous. It stores well over winter and keeps ripening after harvest, getting sweeter and sweeter. Makes delicious purées, soups, soufflés, and pies.

This variety was first introduced to the U.S.A. by the seed farmer Peter Henderson around 1894. It has since been grown and loved by many gardeners.
This shrubby plant grows about a dozen fruits per plant, ranging between 0.5 to 1kg. The fruits can be either yellow or ivory, with green streaks. Their flesh is very sweet and tastes somewhat like chestnuts. Fun fact: delicatas are among the very few winter squashes whose skin is edible once cooked. Given its small size, it is well-suited for stuffing.
The small squashes can be kept for 3 to 4 months.

This ancient squash is rather unique. It originates from Australia, from where it was imported in the 1930s. Triamble squashes are light steel blue and grow three distinct lobes; this uncommon look makes it a nice decoration. But do not be mistaken, its taste is just as enjoyable as its look! The flesh is orange, sweet and of high quality, ideal in soups or purées.

This squash might have prehistoric origins, but the only relevant documentation available dates back to 200 years ago.
This squash comes from the North of New York state, and probably comes from First Nations who gave it to colonizers. The seeds then made their way to Salem, MA, in 1831, where Mr. J. M. Ives helped the squash gain popularity.
It was widely used in New England as a pie squash, and especially appreciated for its fine-textured flesh. It became popular all over the American East since, not only was it a delicious and productive plant, but it also stored well until the next spring.

C. moschata
Very popular a few generations ago, this winter squash almost disappeared in favor of more productive and standard varieties. Its crooked neck was judged ill-suited for industrial commerce and long distance shipping. To answer the criteria of modern market, the Canada Crookneck was used to develop the Butternut variety.
But Canada Crookneck has a unique flavor. Is is listed on Slow Food Ark of Taste. Excellent in soups, exquisite as chips and fries and so sweet it can be used instead of sweet potato in your recipes.
It is slowly making a comeback, thanks to small seed producers. At Terre Promise we hope to grow, save and spread the Canada Crookneck for many years to come!
