Pricing - Beatable or Unbeatable?? You make the call..
We are not expensive but yes you can spend a lot on pumpkins if you want. Our prices beat most of the the box stores and are as follows:
Jack-O-Lanterns..
Their pumpkins are $4.98 as pictured. We weighed the pumpkins in their bin that day and found that they ranged from 8 - 12 lbs making their pumpkins $ .50 / lb and most of the stems were broken off. Recently they did put these on sale for $4. That is still is $ .40 / lb and not nearly farm fresh quality.
In our patch be mind full of the size of pumpkin you pick out. I'm sure you can find something that fits your budget.
Pie Pumpkins & Gourds...

Their pie pumpkins are $ .78 / lb!! Average size for a pie pumpkin is 5-6 lbs. A pie pumpkin at this box store will cost you $4 - $5 . Ours are $3 each.
The box store price for Gourds as pictured is $ .78 and $1 each. Patch's Pumpkins is only $ .75 for either.
Squash
....
At $ .88 / lb you'll pay $5 for an average size butter nut squash. At Patch's it only $1.50!!
Since we beat them at pricing why would you ever pick pumpkins out of a bin or a parking lot? Come to the farm, you won't be disappointed.
