My party is heading towards a mountain lair inhabited by a coven of green hags and their minions, and I want the experience to be memorable.
What sorts of puzzles, traps, and non-combat encounters would be appropriate for a hag lair?

You should have the party encounter people who were transmogrified into monsters. Not necessarily formidable creatures or even ones which could survive on their own. These would not be combat encounters, but more for ambiance.

A puzzle that can only be solved by certain animals.
The hag's cookbook instructs how to make temporary animal tranformation potions.
Reward your players for their creativity when it comes to which animals can solve which challenges.
Don't forget to include some illusions, tricks, and red herrings

I assume the intention of eating them is implied by storing them in the pantry.

What if the party has to collect the pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle and assemble it to unlock the sanctum of the hags?
