Farmer John's Pumpkin Farm

Our family discovered Farmer John's Pumpkin Farm a few years ago and we're hooked. What a wonderful place to take your kids and show them where pumpkins (and gourds, squash, etc.) actually come from! It's a refreshing changes from the ubiquitous "pumpkin patches" that have no connection to the land where the pumpkins were grown (and just want to take your dollars). Farmer's John's variety of pumpkins is amazing. Your whole house will look festive in the fall season, and then you can eat them! Look on his website for good recipes and make sure you ask him which pumpkins he recommends for cooking. One last tip, bring your camera with you to the farm. Farmer John is an expert sunflower grower too!
