Bloom Where You're Planted Farm

Our ninth-annual Pumpkin Festival begins in just over two weeks!  On Saturday, September 21st we open the doors for another pumpkin season. This week I've been working in the store, shopping for supplies, marketing, and getting the Schoolhouse Cafe ready to go.  Terry has been tending to the animals, building a porch swing, doing farm maintenance and helping out at his parents' farm as his dad is out of commission for awhile. There is quite a bit on our to-do list, but as of right now it seems manageable.  

That can always change, though, as it did the year a big hail and wind storm hit five days before we opened for the season.  You just never know what will happen when the success of your business is largely dependent on the weather!  Thankfully it has been a good year for growing pumpkins and we are excited by what we see in the patch.  There are some huge, beautiful orange pumpkins as well as lots of different and interesting heirloom varieties (white, red, tan, blue/green, flat, warty...it's hard to pick a favorite!)

We're looking forward to a fun season and can't wait to see you SOON at the farm!
