Pumpkin – Winter Luxury

$4.25$8.00

Description

Ten years of pumpkin trials keeps leading us back to you, Winter Luxury. If we’re being honest, the crew at Deep Harvest are pumpkin skeptics, knowing the shockingly rich, and intriguing flavors available in buttercup and butternut squash. Pumpkins generally can’t compare, but Winter Luxury Pumpkin somehow distinguishes itself from the watery texture and bland flavors of its peers. Silky, sweet, dense flesh and golden orange fruits under that distinguished white netting.  First introduced by Johnson Stokes in 1893 and has been enjoyed by pie bakers ever since.
