    I am looking to purchase some large Blue Pumpkins (the color of Hubbard Squash). I saw some two weeks ago at a farmers market in Massachusetts, but haven't yet seen any here. Have you?
    Thanks!

    Aren't they a form of Hokkaido squash? I'd check in the Asian markets (Mitsawa, Big H).

    Hi,

    The squash that can feed your family for a week. I bought several last year at Von Bergen Farms in Hebron, IL. They also sell them to people who go to farmer's markets. You could call them to find out where their squash could be located.

    Hi- I am sure that I have seen them at the Evanston farmer's market. Henry might have them as might Nichols. Hope this helps, Nancy
