During the spring and summer they have a working farm in operation. Our visit was in early November and harvest was over. There were a few people in the cabin working with Cushaw Squash, The want to give school children who visit next year squash seeds. That didn't sound to exciting to me since I never have been a fan of squash, but these caught my interest. I've never heard of them before.
What is cushaw squash?

At the cabin, these were large squash, one lady indicated she got five pies from one squash. She likes it better than pumpkin pie. The more she talked, the more interested I became, so here are few recipes for you.
