Question for my fall time customers, yes its hard to believe its already time to order our Pumpkins and Gourds from our farmer friends.
We sell our farm fresh pumpkins, squash and fancy gourds here at Orchards Feed Store for .59cents lb and we sell a whole heck of a lot. We sold roughly 4,000 lbs of pumpkins and gourds last year, hundred of bundles of corn stalks, mums, fall asters, the mini straw bales and large bales of straw available. We of course will be getting an even bigger fall display for you to take your harvest pet/family pics on, as well as another giant pumpkin like the beast we had last year.
My Question is, is this still important to you, is this a tradition you would like us to continue? We know that a lot of people said they wished they knew we had all the things we had cause they had already bought their pumpkins earlier at big box etc, but If we give you a month or two notice would you want us to still go out and have it available for you here? I can't beat the .39 to .49 cent a lb winco/HD/FM pricing, but I do think the varieties we offer and the freshness and the fact that they are all edible and amazing for making pies with after displaying might make up for that.
What are you thoughts? Continue this tradition?
We also donate around 200lbs to our dear friends at the Assistance League of Southwest Washington to make their amazing indoor pumpkin patch for the children in their care.
P.s. Honest answers are totally ok, and be prepared I will probably put up something like this very soon for the Christmas trees soon, I know I know, its too soon lol, but the sooner we place our orders the more likely we get what we want and at a better price etc.
For an extra smile, post a picture you took on one of the hay thrones w your family or pet!
