General Information
Squash Blossoms have been revered by Native American Indians for centuries. Very perishable, they are harvested in early morning before they open to the sun. They can be stuffed with cheese and deep fried or tucked neatly into quesadillas as a filling. They make an excellent home for pate, grains, nuts and dried fruit. High in vitamin C.
History
Squash blossoms are locally grown in California. Enjoying consistent cool ocean breezes and an average year-round daily temperature of 65 degrees, Green Family Farms, also known as Life’s A Choke, credits ideal climate conditions for its superior produce. Located fifty-four miles north of Santa Barbara in Lompoc, California, Green Family Farms produces nearly thirty varieties of impressive specialty crops. Specializing in fresh cut asparagus, several varieties of artichokes, broccoli crowns, snow white cauliflower plus beautiful baby squash and sensational squash blossoms, this prosperous farm has been providing the marketplace with its superb bounty for seventeen years. Specialty Produce strongly supports and endorses our local California growers, ranchers, and farmers.
