We are closed for the 2021 season. Because our wonderful customers bought All. The. Pumpkins!!!!

A video on rainbow pumpkin house creation. I laughed at the spray paint effect on the grass as well as the amount that ended up on me.

Swipe to see how it started vs how it’s going 😊

I have wanted to do this for two years! Since we closed early (from overwhelming support from customers) I had time this year.

We are closed for the season. But still messing around with pumpkins 😉

We are now CLOSED for the 2021 season. THANK YOU t

We are now CLOSED for the 2021 season. THANK YOU to all you wonderful people who travelled to rural Madrid, IA to peruse and purchase pumpkins. Without you, this pumpkin dream would not be possible.

I wanted to introduce you to the entire Alt Farms team. The cast and crew if you will.

Official positions at Alt Farms
1. Pumpkin House Fluffer. She is in charge of redecorating and “fluffing” the pumpkin house every morning.
2. Head Pumpkin Director. She floats in and out of all operations attempting to direct personnel but mostly helping out.
3. Pumpkin Artist and Farmer. She grows and etched the pumpkins. Also is laughed at by the kids when glasses accidentally fall down 😉

We look forward to seeing all of you in 2022.

Thank you! (Bows out for the season)

Discovered a life hack today! Cutting a pumpkin in

Discovered a life hack today! Cutting a pumpkin in half to scrape out the seeds. So much easier than just cutting off the top.

Pumpkin seeds for supper 💃🏼💃🏼

To whomever bought the misspelled harvest pumpkin (harvesl)….Thank you! I etch pumpkins at night after the kids go to bed & occasionally run out of daylight. Clearly pushed it the night I etched “harvesl” and forgot to cross the t

I have tried for years to get a full color musquee de provence (butterscotch one in middle). We usually run out of heat units. Thanks to the drought I finally have one!!

It’s reserved for @caseycreamery but still. Isn’t it a fantastic color?

Restocked for the weekend 😊

Our season is rapidly winding down thanks to our wonderful customers. We are now 100% picked, washed, & on the stand. What you see in the pictures is what we have.

We pick & wash pumpkins several times a week which changes the selection available. Right now we are awash in “Snowballs” that are ~ 2 lb white pumpkins.

The etched pumpkins are leaving at a rapid rate. Thank you to everyone who has stopped at the stand!

As the leaves drop off & the vines die back the hail damage is really apparent. Found this excellent example of a hail damaged vine that managed to grow through the damage.

Good morning! Sunrise over the pumpkin stand

Good morning!

Sunrise over the pumpkin stand

We have mini white pumpkins coming out our ears 🎃

We’re still picking. We’re still washing. Fresh pumpkins on the stand as we find them.

This morning’s look at the pumpkin stand. Thanks

This morning’s look at the pumpkin stand. Thanks to all of you wonderful people, we are starting to run low on inventory. Stop out before they are gone.

My guess is we will be open through early October. I don’t think we have enough pumpkins to last until late October.

Can everyone appreciate this absolute wall mounter

Can everyone appreciate this absolute wall mounter of a turnip I found picking pumpkins last night? We plant turnips in our cover crop mix. This one must have escaped the herbicide and powered through the season.

Look at the SIZE of this turnip!!!

It’s almost as big as my head
