Description

Sweet Meat is an heirloom winter squash that’s earned its legendary status among Northwest gardeners and cooks alike. With its slate-blue rind and deep, velvety orange flesh, this variety is famous for its rich, old fashioned sweetness and smooth, buttery texture. It’s a perfect choice for roasting, soups, pies, and casseroles, and it keeps beautifully, often lasting well into spring when stored in a cool place.

Originally bred in Oregon in the 1940s, Sweet Meat quickly became a regional favorite for its flavor and long storage life. Its thick rind protects the flesh, allowing the sweetness to deepen over time, making it ideal for cozy, wintertime meals.
