Pumpkins, Squash, and Gourds

Our pumpkins, squash, and gourds are grown in the fertile soil of Kossuth County in Northern Iowa by the
Scuffham family.  The family has farmed the ground and raised livestock since 1920.  Their 25 years in growing
pumpkins in the rich black soil have produced deep orange pumpkins with sturdy stems for handling.

Our pumpkins are high quality and full of color.  They have long, healthy stems because they are not packed in bins
and shipped.  This prevents the stems from being snapped off.  We have thousands of pumpkins cut and
lined up for easy selection.
