Hello Pumpkin fans! Hope you’re all well. Pumpkin parent of the year must go to Hollie Openshaw, her house pumpkins are still going strong after 3 months, and might I say they look fabulous! Thanks for the pic Hollie! Only 9 more months until we can do it all again 🎃🎃🎃 We are currently thrashing out dates for Mr Pumpkin 2018, I’ll have some opening dates for you by Spring 😎🌱🌞🌾

Many of you asked us about other farm produce whilst you picked your pumpkins. For oodles of years we have been producing our farm fresh turkeys, dry plucked, and lovingly reared at Smithy Farm, Morley. We are now taking orders for the festive season. Size wise they range from approx 5 kilos (about 11lb), priced at £7.26 per kilo. We would also happily halve one for you to split between Christmas and New Year. Please contact Jim Knifton to order on 07967 362215.

Yummy! From Mrs Pumpkins BBC Good Food magazine, definitely going to be giving it a try! (Our blue pumpkins are Crown Prince referred to in this recipe, fabulous deep orange flesh)🎃🎃

Thank you to everyone who gave so generously at the pumpkin trail during the latter part of pumpkin week, The Air Ambulance have collected your pennies today, thank you Pumpkin fans 😊🎃😊

This is a neighbouring farm, fabulous trees and great advice. Mrs Pumpkin refuses to go anywhere else for our tree 🎄🎄🎄

Anyone with leftover pumpkin pulp, just made this and it’s delicious 😍🎃😍 https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4777/halloween-pumpkin-cake

Happy Halloween pumpkin fans! Hope you’re all carved and ready 🎃💛🎃

People have been contacting me asking about the potatoes we were giving away samples of at the start of each day, they are grown by us on the farm, and are available to purchase from Smithy Farm, Morley, DE7 6DF (opposite the Three Horseshoes pub). 12.5 kilos - £4.00 25 kilos - £7.00 A bag bought now will keep well until Christmas if kept in a cool place 🎃🎃

Dearest pumpkin fans I’m very sad to say our pumpkin dream has finally come to an end and we have SOLD OUT. The team are all very glum as it has been so wonderful meeting such lovely people and we have all had a thoroughly enjoyable mini pumpkin festival. I know many of you will be disappointed and I’m sorry for the inconvenience if you had planned to visit tomorrow. Next year I promise we will be back, with lots more pumpkins! We are already planning which extra fields we can plant to make sure we have plenty for the duration. We are overwhelmed by all the lovely comments and feedback and did not expect in our wildest dreams to be so busy. Thank you all for making our first year so memorable 🎃🎃🎃

A very blustery morning on the patch! Bring your hats and gloves, it’s a chilly one 🎃🎃🎃
