Pumpkins
We strive to provide you with the highest quality, most beautiful pumpkins available, therefore we do not grow the pumpkins at our farm. For those who are not native Central Floridians, pumpkins can grow here but do not grow well in the fall months. They require cooler temperatures to grow, and we all know no one is interested in picking out a pumpkin in December. We source our pumpkins from farms all over the country, selecting the best growing regions for the different varieties that we have available for you. Below are some of the pumpkins in our usual line-up, pending availability from said farms.
Gorgeous Whites
Medium sized, white and perfect for the fall farmhouse décor of your Pinterest dreams.
Heirlooms
Wide range of sizes, unique, colorful and a must-have for your fall decorating. Available in colors like pink, blue, green and yellow.
Jumbo Jacks
Our biggest pumpkins, they are a Halloween staple. Large, orange and perfect for carving.
Minis
Available in orange and white, these adorable little guys fit just right in little hands. Great for table decorating and painting.
Stem Pies
Orange with a cute stem, small to medium sized. They are great for baking and decorating.
Tiger Stripes
These beauties make a bold statement. Small sized, white with stripes of green, yellow and orange.
