In search of...BLUE pumpkins

While digesting my daily food blogs I came across this

Shuna is a huge talent.

I think the blue pumpkin is just something I have to make a few pies with.

Anyone see any? PA, DE, MD?

If you have please post.

Duffield's in Washington Twp (South Jersey) had 15 varieties, I believe one was blue. http://www.duffieldsfarm.com/

Why does this make me think of purple cows?

On a coincidental note, I just found that eggbeaters blog this morning and liked it a lot. (Didn't see the pumpkins though.)

Also check out Blue Hubbard and Grey Hubbard squash...they make great soups. Shadybrook Farms, Yardley, Exit 49 off 95N.

Linvilla Orchards? I was just there last week and don't remember all of the colors, but they definitely had a wide variety. Sounds fun!

The Fair Food Farmstand has gray hubbards, which tend to be blue and are sometimes referred to as blue hubbards. Orange/creamy inside, not blue.

It's great for decorating a table, and the flesh is fine. But if you're planning on cooking or baking, I think you're better off with a neck pumpkin. Fine tasting, and lots of seedless and easily prepped meat.

In about 1985 didn't Sting come out with the album, "Dream of the Blue Pumpkins"?

a deeply orange and densely fleshed pumpkin I love from Oz is called the Queensland Blue....incredibly hard to cut and peel but well worth it for its intense flavour

Maple Acre Farms in Plymouth Meeting has a wide assortment of pumpkins, including a few kinds of blue squash.
