Andy Griffin, Mariquita Farm, Hollister, California: Griffin is growing rugosa winter squash, a fine-grained, wrinkle-skinned, dense variety of butternut that’s sweet, stores well, and actually gets better over time. Says Griffin: “We used to feed our Jersey milk cow, Jenny, ordinary pumpkins to make her butter more yellow. Then we started giving Jenny the culled rugosa, and she won’t eat anything else.”
