In light of fall feeling more like a second summer thus far, we're featuring a squash that’s usually lumped into the winter squash category, but is actually more closely related to summer squash varieties like Patty Pan: the Delicata! Pinstriped from end to end, the Delicata is awfully dapper yet remarkably low maintenance. Their skin is thin and edible, so no peeling's needed and they’re easy to slice. They also don’t need much seasoning to be delicious. Give it a nice roast and its natural sugars will caramelize to perfection. 

You have all season long to enjoy Delicata squash at farms like Oya Organics, Riverdog Farm, Happy Boy Farm, and Full Belly Farm.
