SQUASH, PUMPKINS & GOURDS:
Tucker Farms offers both summer squash and winter squash, all of which are members of the cucurbit genus. Summer squash, as everyone knows, consists of immature vegetables harvested before they are ripe. That is, they have thin, soft skins, and the fruit is rather small. They are typically eaten almost immediately and require little to no cooking. Summer squashes include zucchini (courgette), pattypan and yellow crookneck squashes. They cannot be stored for any significant duration. Winter squash (such as butternut, Hubbard, buttercup, ambercup, acorn, spaghetti, vegetable spaghetti), pumpkins (all kinds), on the other hand, are harvested at maturity at the end of the season (usually in October). These can be stored under ideal conditions for many months, and these are, by far, the more nutritious of all the cucurbits.
Call in season for availability.

ROCKS (field stone and boulders)
At the end of the pleistocene epoch the glacier left behind a large number of rocks which have been painstakingly removed from the fields and set aside for future use. Sizes range from tennis balls to refrigerators. They are perfect for field stone masonry, boulder landscaping, slope stabilization, rip-rap and other projects requiring Adirondack native rocks and stones. Tucker Farms, Inc. does not deliver, but will be glad to show all interested parties the large and varied inventory.
