Here are a few pictures of the pumpkins that we grow here at the farm. We like to grow Heirloom varieties as well as a variety of Jack-O-Latern type pumpkins. Heirloom varieties are the hardest to grow, meaning they can be very temperamental to natural selection. Weather, insects and decease can take them all. That is why they are priced a little higher than the typical orange pumpkin. Heirlooms are perfect for decorating but they really shine when used in the kitchen they are all edible with very different taste. Description and how to use the pumpkins are listed by each pumpkin. I use many of them in my baking. Try and come early in the season if you want some of these we only grow specific amounts of all of them.
Lovely and decorative, this pumpkin with stunning blue-green skin comes to us from the town of Jarrahdale in New Zealand. mild, slightly sweet, almost fruity, golden-yellow flesh thats highly aromatic and almost like a melon. 
Mixed gourds, inedible but very pretty. 
Marina Di Chioggia Italian Heirloom, squash type yellow – to light orange flesh. 
Peanut pumpkin is more than edible; the flesh is sweet and delicious. These warty protuberances add up to an extremely sweet flesh, suitable for use in desserts such as pies, breads and cheesecakes. 
The hubbard is consistently sweet, and can be substituted for virtually any other winter squash, making it ideal for cooking and baking.

Fairytale Very heavy, wonderful in pies & breads, these are the pumpkins I use for the bread we sell. Yummy! 
Rascal is an orange fleshed firm, heavy pumpkin that cooks like a squash. It doesn’t have that strong pumpkin flavor. I like them for their color and they keep until easter! 
French heirloom, Cinderella pumpkins are creamy and moist with a mild and slightly sweet flavor. Good for soups. 
The orange flesh of the Heirloom Australian Jarrahdale is a stunning contrast to its bluish skin. The flesh is firm, and not stringy, best used to enhance savory dishes, it also makes a delicious pie pumpkin.
