Pumpkin Long Island Cheese is a venerable heirloom variety distinguished by its distinctive flattened form that evokes the appearance of a wheel of aged cheese—a characteristic that inspired its enduring name. This medium-large cultivar features smooth, tan skin with moderate ribbing and a slender woody stem, creating an elegant aesthetic that appeals to both gardeners and culinary enthusiasts. The variety's historical significance and refined appearance make it a treasured addition to heritage seed collections. The flesh delivers genuine culinary merit with deep orange coloring and moderately sweet flavor profile ideally suited for traditional pies and pumpkin preparations. The balanced sweetness and texture create superior results in baking applications compared to many modern varieties. Long Island Cheese demonstrates exceptional storage longevity, maintaining quality and flavor throughout extended winter storage periods, enabling consistent access to fresh pumpkin for months after harvest. Plants produce an average yield of two fruits per plant, each typically averaging 6 to 10 pounds—a manageable size for both kitchen use and display purposes. The compact productivity allows gardeners to cultivate multiple specimens within limited growing space. Seeds reach harvest maturity in approximately 110 days, providing predictable timing for seasonal planning. With a germination rate of 80% or better, these seeds establish reliably and consistently. Our Non-GMO seeds are sustainably produced without genetic modification, preserving the variety's authentic characteristics and genetic purity. Our environmentally responsible packaging is fully reusable and recyclable, designed to minimize climate impact while safeguarding seed quality throughout storage and transport.
