Another month already?

As the holidays loom closer, and my access to a computer is lessened (see here), posting gets more and more challenging.

But today we bring you an idea for something you were most likely going to buy anyway!

Locally grown pumpkins are the greenest way to go for Halloween jack o'lanterns. Since the only fuel used in transporting them is the gas in your own car on the way to the farmstand, these leave the smallest footprint behind. Plus, local farms are more likely to cut back on pesticides and other common farming chemicals.



We bought our pumpkins at Stade's Farm, which focuses on bringing fresh, healthily grown produce to our area. We enjoy their produce from May to October each year, and I have to say, you can tell the difference!
