Our pumpkins come from Pumpkin Patch Fundraisers, who farm in the upland desert region of New Mexico, which is blessed with high elevation, dry air, and limited insect population, producing a superior product.  In cooperation with the Navajo Nation, they grow 1,200 acres or approximately 2 square miles of pumpkins and employ over 700 Native Americans during the harvest months of September and October. They also have full time off-season NM staff, comprised of entirely Native Americans, having a positive and lasting impact on a region with 42% unemployment. 

Pumpkin Patch Fundraisers also exercises sustainable agricultural practices, such as, crop rotation that varies crops from year to year to limit pest problems, and thereby reducing the need for insecticides. They also use cover crops to prevent soil erosion & suppress weeds. This limits the need for the use of herbicides.  All Pumpkin Patch products are non-GMO. These responsible agricultural practices mean that we receive a great product, which has less of an impact on the environment.
