Squash, Spaghetti
Eden Valley Growers
Since 1956, Eden Valley Growers has been proving that farmers are stronger together. This cooperative of small family farms in Eden, NY works collectively to grow, pack, and distribute some of the freshest produce in Western New York.
The co-op model allows Eden Valley farmers to share resources and compete with larger producers, while keeping land in family hands. Together, they produce an incredible variety of vegetables—sweet corn, peppers, squash, lettuce, beans, and more—grown in the fertile “Eden Valley” soil that’s been prized for generations.
Eden Valley Growers also leads in sustainable farming techniques, using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and soil health initiatives that protect both crops and the environment. By working together, they can invest in technologies and systems that might be out of reach for individual farms.
When you choose Eden Valley produce through FreshFix, you’re not just buying fresh vegetables—you’re supporting dozens of local farm families who are working collectively to keep agriculture thriving in WNY.
Storage
Spaghetti squash stored in a cool dry place will last several weeks. Squash store at ideal temperatures will even last months. If possible, store at 50-55° in a dry spot with low humidity. If its too cold it will suffer chilling injuries and start to deteriorate. We don’t recommend storing in the basement because it is probably too moist and they will be more likely to rot.
Preparation
Most often spaghetti squash is prepared by first roasting it in the oven. Start by cutting the squash in half lengthwise and scooping out the seeds and pulp (see pictures below). Next, place both halves face side down on an oiled baking sheet. Bake the squash for about 45 minutes. Alternatively you could microwave it for about 15 minutes, but roasting is preferred for the best texture. You can tell the squash is cooked when the outside starts to cave in a bit and appears hallow. Use a fork to scrape out the inside of the squash. If well cooked it should separate into stringy pieces that resemble spaghetti.
