Pumpkin Patch
Good news! After taking 2024 to rest our bodies, Joe and Jenn, along with Abe and Maddie, are going to plant the pumpkin patch again! We are planting 12 different varieties offering our pumpkin patch community red, black, white, pink, gray-green and, of course, all different sizes of orange pumpkins. The dates of the event will depend on Mother Nature but generally we can say the last weekend of September and the first weekend of October are a good bet for pumpkin gathering. Watch the James Ranch newsletter for the specific dates and times as we get closer.
We are also growing all of your favorite winter squash this year. Butternut, acorn, spaghetti, kabocha, delicata, and a few surprises, too!
We are resting some parts of the farm, planting them to soil enriching cover crops.
We continue to have the perennial crops of rhubarb, black currants, plums, apples and apricots when the fickle spring weather doesn't frost them.
When you drive by and see the beautiful flowers being grown by Mountain Belle Flowers, please stop into the James Ranch Market for a bouquet. They are truly exceptional flowers.
