The Anna Swartz Hubbard squash is a cherished family heirloom winter squash that originated in the 1950s when Anna Swartz, a resident of Pennsylvania, received the seed from a friend. Known for being an exceptional keeper, this variety typically produces teardrop-to-spherical shaped, dark green or blue-green fruits weighing between 5 and 8 pounds. It features an extraordinarily tough, hard shell that protects a small seed cavity and thick, sweet flesh boasting a vibrant orange color and a flavor reminiscent of sweet potatoes. Maturing in roughly 90 to 100 days, this reliable grower was later introduced commercially through the Seed Savers Exchange in 1999 and remains a favorite among gardeners for its stellar storage capabilities and rich culinary quality throughout the winter months.
