What prices are you guys seeing on carving pumpkins? Danielle and the kids bought 3 today for $7.50 each and that's about the best price we've seen around here

I had been looking for some of the yellow with green striped long necked "Squash" for the longest as a friend told me they make the best pumpkin pies. I finally found a farmer that had a whole field of them at $10 each. Walmart been having several big boxes of the orange Halloween pumpkins in front of store at $6.50 each

We have been selling our standard size for $5. Pink ones, white and large orange (12-14") for $10. Giant orange for $15.
I started a Facebook group this year, that has some videos and pictures of planting with our waterwheel planter, and other miscellaneous things.
Our group is Triple T Farms.

Neaighbor property has a 5 acre area that was horse pasture over the last 53 years or so and after the horse deal kind of died out here now that the 5th owners live there . So another local neighbor now uses it and raises sweet corn / sunflowers / pumkins on it . Doesnt pay rent but trades produce from that and other plots he has with them . Last couple weeks has taken several pick up loads of punkins from there - unsure where he sells them - neighbor mentioned if I wanted some - just come down and grab what i want .

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.
