Still have a good selection! Great side dish for Thanksgiving Dinner!

Check out these amazing large hubbard squash! $5 each or 3 for $10. Located at Lion John Crandell's house (10081 Ray Rd, Gaines, Mi 48436). His friend in Frankenmuth raises these for the local restaurants. Money raised from our sale will go toward Lions Pine Hill Park insurance and maintenance costs. If you aren't familiar with hubbard squash, they are a winter storage squash with an excellent flavor. Poke (stab) a few vent holes and bake the whole thing in the oven! Great as a side dish or used in breads, desserts, soups ... and don't forget roasting the seeds!
