Pumpkins are an iconic symbol of Autumn. But did you know that purchasing pumpkins from a local farm is more environmentally friendly than from a supermarket? Depending on where you live, pumpkins travel a long way to reach your local grocery store. Buying your pumpkins from a local farm reduces the pumpkin's carbon footprint.

By supporting local farms, you encourage access to fresher produce, and you are helping to ensure that your local farms can keep providing for consumers like you.
