Pumpkins
Each year, we plant between 10 and 15 varieties of pumpkins.
The majority are classic jack-o'-lantern pumpkins, chosen to respond differently to varying weather conditions. This helps ensure we can consistently supply the diverse shapes, sizes, and quantities sought by our customers. Additionally, we grow specialty colored, small, uniformly shaped, and edible baking pumpkins for those looking for something unique for decorating or cooking.
