Ark Foods is highlighting its domestically-grown Honeynut squash program as retailers gear up for Thanksgiving. Grown across U.S. regions, the squash delivers the quality, consistency and flavor buyers expect during one of the busiest produce seasons of the year. The squash's vibrant color, sweetness and easy preparation reflect the company's belief that simple, flavorful vegetables can evoke excitement in the produce aisle.
"Honeynut squash perfectly captures what we stand for — flavor, simplicity and a genuine love for vegetables," said Noah Robbins, founder and CEO of Ark Foods. "It's grown here in the U.S., farmed in upstate New York, and packed with natural sweetness that proves seasonal produce can be both comforting and exciting."

The variety is about half the size of a traditional Butternut but twice as sweet. Its rich orange flesh is high in beta-carotene, a natural antioxidant, and its edible skin makes preparation effortless. Roasted or microwaved and drizzled with honey or maple syrup, Honeynut squash brings warmth and flavor to tables throughout the holiday season.
"Hard squash season is one of our favorites," says Lindsay Belfatto, vice president of Sales at Ark Foods. "We take great pride in growing our squash domestically. It gives our retail and foodservice partners the confidence of knowing they're offering a U.S.-grown product — one that supports local agriculture and consistently delivers on taste, quality and reliability."
Consumers increasingly value locally grown products for their freshness and lower environmental impact. By choosing U.S.-grown Honeynut squash, shoppers know where their ingredients are coming from and contribute to a more sustainable food system.
"Our hard squash program represents what we love most about this time of year," Robbins adds. "We take pride in being a domestic grower that brings the best of U.S. agriculture to every table. It's a story we're proud to tell, one that continues to grow each season."
