The pumpkins will be donated to local farms and animal sanctuaries. Lots of animals, like pigs, chickens and goats, benefit from the nutrition that pumpkins provide and they make great compost as well!

Question 6

Will my pumpkins last all season? How can I care for them?

Accepted Answer

Pumpkins can last several weeks, but care is important to keep your display fresh. We deliver fresh, farm-grown California pumpkins, so each one is unique. While we strive to provide the highest quality, we can't guarantee the lifespan of your pumpkins and are unable to replace any that may start to rot.

To maintain a healthy display, we recommend regularly checking for any signs of decay and promptly removing any rotten pumpkins to prevent them from affecting the rest. Additionally, keeping water from pooling on your pumpkins is crucial - consider placing water-wicking burlap under your display to help protect them.

Question 7

What happens to the pumpkins at the end of the season?

Accepted Answer

If you choose the add-on for pick up at the end of the season, we donate your pumpkins to local farms through our Pumpkins for Pigs partnership.

Did you know that throwing your Jack-O-Lantern in the trash can harm the planet? When pumpkins end up in landfills, they break down without oxygen, which causes them to release methane - a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Every year, 3 billion tons of pumpkins are tossed in the trash, adding to landfill waste and increasing methane emissions.

We want to do our part to be eco-friendly, so we’ve teamed up with a foundation called Pumpkins for Pigs. They work with local farmers who are happy to take our pumpkins, hay, and ornamental corn. This eco-friendly solution ensures that nothing goes to waste and that the animals receive nutritious food.

If you choose our end-of-season pick-up service, we’ll collect the pumpkins from your display along with any carved ones you have. Just remember, we can’t take painted pumpkins, and please make sure to remove any candles or other decorations before we come by.

Can I keep my pumpkins after the season instead of pickup?
