The Precision Behind Our Butternut Squash Cultivation
Vertical Trellis System
Combining vertical and T-trellis methods, our farm maximizes canopy space for higher yields, better sunlight, and air circulation, leading to healthier plants and superior fruit quality.
Hand Pollination for Quality Assurance
Each passion fruit is hand-pollinated, ensuring consistent quality and optimal development in every piece, as with our muskmelons.
Supporting Multiple Fruits per Plant
Unlike muskmelons, which we cultivate with a “one stem, one fruit” approach, our butternut squash plants are strong enough to support 2-3 fruits each. This selective capacity balances productivity with quality, allowing every fruit to reach optimal flavor and texture.
Dedicated Quality Control at Every Step
Every aspect of our cultivation process is designed to produce butternut squash that meets our high standards. By focusing on these quality control measures, we ensure that each squash we deliver is flavorful, nutritious, and of exceptional quality.

Is Your Squash
Ready to Eat?
Stem Condition
Check for a dry, woody stem, a reliable sign that the squash has fully ripened.
Sound test
Tapping the squash gently will produce a hollow sound, signalling ripeness.
Colour and Texture
The skin should have a deep, uniform colour, depending on the variety, and feel hard and matte. Any green spots may indicate immaturity.
Weight
A ripe squash will feel heavy for its size, indicating good moisture content inside.
Proper Storage Tips for Squash

Store squash at room temperature for up to 1-2 months, avoiding humidity and temperature fluctuations to prevent spoilage.
