America's first pumpkin seed oil
Finally!
We begin our new season. Mary Ann is a new helper and she was amazing! As was Bob & Adrian. Now we wait…They planted 304 trays with 3 seeds each cell. 50 cells per tray. All with our own seeds. Sure wish that we had more heat going on. Get some sun people!!! Can’t wait to get these babies in the ground. I’ll keep you posted, you know.
Fingers CROSSED!
We have many seedlings planted (over 45,000 of the little dudes) in 4 acres.
We’re so excited to begin—again. Hoping this year is a much hotter one and that all the effort that goes into this project will pan out. As in, oil to share with all of wonderful YOUZZZ!
Onward!
We are featured in today’s Huffington Post, “A Week in the Life of a Pumpkin Seed Oil Producer”. Please check it out and share with your friends!
You hate to say this but I think it is very unlikely deer are checking this FB page. We have no, zero, not one bit of deer damage so far this year. Same with the cucumber beetles, did not see a one in the field. These are our two major pests and the deer could show up but so far, so good!
Ladies and Gentlemen, behold the 2013 pumpkin patch. Everything in the ground and doing well at our farm and the 3 other growers for this year’s crop.
Things are looking just great in the field. Very hot and humid here, bad for us, good for pumpkins. The first fruits are forming.
This is really good and really easy. Drizzle pumpkin seed oil on popcorn, salt and toss.
Even better if you use popcorn from friend, neighbor and HRPSO pumpkin grower, Kate Stout, North Creek Community Farm.
FINALLY. A day it didn’t rain. Our first chance to cultivate the field where the pumpkins seedlings will be planted next week. They should have gone in this week but way to wet and cool. Used to be that I 100% controlled the weather, what has happened?
What a long cool spring it has been in NW Wisconsin. After spending a week in suspended animation, finally we are getting some germination. GROW NOW!
