The Pumpkin Patch at Ganyard Hill Farm
Early in July, Farmer Ganyard sows the seeds for his pumpkin crop. Using specialized farm equipment and pond irrigation that he installs himself, he anticipates a full harvest of pumpkins for your selection.
Whatever your whimsical nature desires — big pumpkins, little ones, funny ones, scary ones, orange, green, and in between — you'll find it here. Pick your pumpkin straight out of the pumpkin patch, or pick from those already picked and stacked.

One day I found two pumpkin seeds.
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
It sprouted roots and a big, long vine.
A pumpkin grew; I called it mine.
The pumpkin was quite round and fat.
(I really am quite proud of that.)
But there is something I'll admit
That has me worried just a bit.
I ate the other seed, you see.
Now will it grow inside of me?
(I'm so relieved since I have found
That pumpkins grow only in the ground!)
