PawPaws

Our nations largest native fruit.

Pawpaw’s are shaped like a giant lima bean, green on the outside with soft avocado textured yellow flesh on the inside. They’re also known as a Custard Apple due to their soft insides that can easily be eaten with a spoon.

Pawpaw season is very short usually running only the second, third and fourth weeks of September.

PawPaws are $5.99 per pound at the farmstand. 

VERY IMPORTANT: Do NOT make PawPaws into fruit leather. Dehydrating the fruit will make you sick! Also, eating PawPaws in large quantities have the possibility to make you sick. Moderation is key! Do not eat the skin, seeds, leaves, or bark from the trees. Yellow, ripe flesh is the only part for eating! Please consult your doctor if you have questions or concerns about pawpaws and potential neurotoxicity.
