Debbie and Dave Klausmeyer (Farmer Dave) have been hard working farmers all their lives. When schools started asking to visit their dairy farm for field trips in 2005 the wheels started to turn and 2 years later they added the pumpkin patch. Each year they try to add more things to their pumpkin patch to make it a great experience for all ages. They’ve always loved sharing their farm with the public and educating them on the agricultural lifestyle. Remember when you visit their farm that it’s still in operation and while you are picking pumpkins they are driving combines and harvesting other crops as well, which makes it very different than any other pumpkin patch.

Karl has some secret that he isn’t telling anyone. He has two pumpkins in the Top 10. What do you think it is? Seeds or just plain luck. I don’t know but I wish I knew. This is a 2018 pumpkin that was weighed by Ohio Valley Giant Pumpkin Growers Weigh-Off. Karl grew it at Clarence Center New York

Joel has been growing pumpkins for 25 years and each year he knocks one out of the park. This personal best was grown in 2017 and was weighed in at the Half Moon Bay Weigh-off. Most of the West coast growers take their pumpkin to Half Moon Bay for the prize money. I wonder how much Joel made with this beast of a pumpkin.
The twins run the Pinetops nursery in Lymington, New Forest.
