At Hami Ecofarms, we cultivate our butternut squash with sustainable farming methods to bring you a high-quality product. Each squash develops a naturally sweet, nutty flavour and vibrant orange flesh, rich in vitamins A, C, E, along with fibre, and antioxidants. Versatile and nutritious, it enhances soups, stews, and baked goods. Carefully harvested for peak taste and texture, our butternut squash offers both a delicious addition to your meals and support for eco-friendly practices.
