Autumn is here and at Castle Farm we’re celebrating the harvest with our gorgeous pumpkin and squash patch! Each year, we grow a wide range of home-grown varieties, all hand-cut and brought to the Farm Shop so you can choose just the one that speaks to you — whether it’s for cooking, decorating or carving.
The kids love being able to pick and choose from the big trailer-loads (and there are no muddy field boots for you to contend with afterwards too)!
From the sweet, bake-whole ‘Rolet’ and beautiful white-skinned Casperita to the smooth grey-skinned ‘Crown Prince’, the swirling stripes of ‘Harlequin’, the dainty ‘Gold Dust’ minis, and the classic orange jack-o’lanterns — there’s a squash or pumpkin for every use and every style.
Our pumpkins and squashes are in season from September through to November (possibly into December for some varieties), so there’s plenty of time to explore. To keep them at their best, store them in a cool, dry place — they’ll happily last up to a month.
Come and visit us! The Farm Shop is open six days a week throughout the year. Tuesday – Saturday 9am-5pm and Sunday 10am-5pm, closed on Mondays.
To store: Keep in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
