How to choose and maximize the preservation of your pumpkin

Choose a pumpkin that is firm and undamaged. Once pierced, the pumpkin will not keep as long. If you keep it outside, avoid leaving it in the sun or rain.

In addition, the Internet is full of delicious sweet and savoury recipes for your harvest, so don’t hesitate to try them! You can also dry the seeds and freeze the flesh.

We can’t wait to welcome you this fall for u-pick pumpkins!
