Growing up, I just wanted to sell pumpkins for some pocket change. I had typical 10-year old goals, like earn enough to buy the newest Ertl Farm set (still have them) or a little toy tractor. See, I always knew somehow that I would be a farmer. I wanted to teach and farm. While I may not be in the classroom teaching, I am educating anyone that wants to know more about our farm, the years of farming and the changes, and the history beyond the farm.
Way back in 2019, I was interviewed about my pumpkins, it was not an ideal weather day. You can hear the cars driving past the farm as they echoed in the building- and I’m pretty sure this was the height of my attention distraction disorder- very aware now of how jittery and anxious my body language was- there was a lot of anxiety and stress happening behind the scene in my life at that point! Thankfully, those days are past, and I have become a better person as a result. Want to learn more about Pumpkins, Winter Squash and other Cucurbits?
