UPICK Pumpkins for Halloween

Are you looking for a scary pumpkin this Halloween…a small pocket pumpkin you can hide in your costume or a giant 45-lb pumpkin to carve and greet trick-or-treaters.  Lake May Farms is your local one-stop shop for fresh U-pick pumpkins and veggies.  You can pick your own pumpkin in the field (small to medium sizes range from $7 to $13) or purchase a mac-daddy pumpkin for $22.  There are lots of varieties to choose from including half-pint, Fall Splendor plus, Big Loretta, Zeus and small pocket pumpkins.  orange pumpkin in the fieldSome of these varieties are good for carving while others are best for baking pies.  And if you are not into pumpkins, you can also pick fresh from the field veggies including okra, squash, and cucumbers.  Yellow squash on the vineSo make sure to support your local farmer and buy a home-grown pumpkin from Putnam County.  But don’t wait too long because this is the last weekend to show your local support.  If you want to select your own pumpkin, then you must go directly to the field.
