Bloom Where You're Planted Farm

This is both an exciting and frustrating time of a pumpkin farmer's year.  It is exciting because we have lots of ideas running through our heads about next season and all we want to do and add.  It is also exciting to have a bit of free time again after so many months of being tied to the farm.  We're eagerly looking forward to the seed catalogs which will be arriving soon, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are just around the corner!  Also, before long we'll start receiving information about some of the small business confereces and vegetable growers' seminars that we like to attend in the winter.  Many exciting things coming up!

The frustrating part is having to wait what seems like an eternity until we can start to DO anything to get ready for next season!  Ideas and plans are great, but actions are what count, right?  Sure, there are important bookkeeping tasks to be done, and there are some changes to our brochures and website which I can begin working on...  But, the real fun will begin next spring when we can get out there and do some physical work again--building, repairing, plowing and planting.  I guess as long as we still get excited about these preparations, we'll know we're in the right business!

Terry and I wish you all a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!  God Bless!

Our fifth pumpkin patch season has come to an end.  Our "official" last day of the season was Sunday, November 1st.  Unoficially, our last day was Monday because we had one final field trip that morning. 

Now comes the task of putting everything away and getting the farm all buttoned up for the winter.  As we set about these tasks, we're having some of the nicest weather we've had since September...  Figures, doesn't it?!?  We do appreciate the nice working conditions, even if we would have preferred they come a few weeks earlier.

Other than some weather problems, we had a good season and would like to express a huge, sincere THANK YOU! to everyone who came for a visit, both old friends and new.  We couldn't (and wouldn't want to) have done it without you.  We have the best customers in the world, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!!!!
