What makes our Pumpkins better?
Our Pumpkins are slowly grown in our fields for shape, size and flavour. They really are a world away from the cheap, flavourless pumpkins often found in Supermarkets which are machine harvested and grown in bulk to meet a price point.
As we grow our Pumpkins here on our farm, we don't have to cut the stalks short so they'll fit into a transportation container. This means we're able to leave them with much more attractive, longer stalks than you'll find elsewhere.
Pumpkins
We grow a wide range of pumpkins in all sorts of shapes and colours. Prices range from £1.95 for the smallest of Munchkins to £40+ for the largest giant pumpkins you simply won't find elsewhere!
Squashes
We grow a range of squashes which varies each year depending on growing conditions. In most years you will typically find;
Crown Prince Squash
Onion Squash
Turks Turban Squash
Gem Squash
Acorn Squash
Harlequin Squash
Running out?
Obviously, we can only grow a certain amount of Pumpkins and Squashes each year. Generally pumpkins and squashes will last if kept in cool, dark conditons (and not cut into!).
We always recommend visiting at the start of the month for the widest selection.
Caring for your pumpkin
Pumpkins will last for months if you store them correctly and don't cut into them.Many customers prefer to vist early in October when we have the widest selection available.
- Don't carry Pumpkins by the stalk! As we don't have to pack our pumpkins into shipping containers we're able to leave them with lovely long handles but these can be fragile so it's best not to hold pumpkins by their stalk.
- Store your pumpkins out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry environment until you're ready to carve it. Traditionally gourds and squashes were safely stored this way to provide a source of food throughout the Winter months.
- Once your pumpkin is cut open it will begin to oxidise and spoil quite quickly. We recommend you leave carving your pumpkin as late as possible. Should you need to carve your pumpkin in advance, storing it in a fridge will help to slow down the spoilage.
