Hard & Winter Squash: Wholesale Grower and Shipper
Southern Corporate Packers ships acorn, butternut and spaghetti squash in extra large and large grades by the truckload through the fall and winter.
Overview
About our hard squash program
Hard squash runs opposite the soft squash deal and carries the fall and winter produce set. Butternut is the volume item and holds the longest; acorn and spaghetti round out the display. All three store and ship well, which makes them easy to build into a mixed load.
