Our newest video was uploaded last night and Tracy is hard at work preparing video from our archives of earlier this year. 

It means so much to us when you watch our videos and especially when you like and subscribe to our YouTube channel. While it costs you nothing to subscribe to the channel, it absolutely supports us in our efforts to bring you entertainment and education about our farm. We can't open the farm itself to the public for many reasons, including: Time, liability and bio security concerns. But via YouTube we're able to share with you what we do and why we do it and provide a behind the scenes look at our life here on the farm.

We're open to receiving content requests!  Do you have a question about the farm, our animals or garden? Let us know here or right on our YouTube page and we will see what we can work out for you. While we can't guarantee an in depth video on every request, we'll do our best to entertain and educate.

Here are just a few of the pumpkins we yielded from yesterday's harvest. There are lots more out on the vines still growing.

All of these heirloom pumpkins are baking and cooking varieties. The orange pumpkins are New England Sugar Pie Pumpkins. The blue/grey Cindarella style pumpkins are Jarrahdale. The warty green ones are called Buen Gusto de Horno which is a Spanish winter squash variety that is simply outstanding for baking and cooking. Last year, Buen Gusto de Horno was my FAVE for pie making. This year I added Winter Luxury Pumpkins to our garden (not shown here). So, I will test them all again and we're super excited to see if Buen Gusto de Horno will remain the favorite or there will be a new darling. I started all these from seed that was purchased from Baker Creek (rareseeds.com -- we have no affiliation with the company, just sharing a good seed supply source).

If you're in the local area and looking to purchase some wonderful, locally grown culinary pumpkins or winter squash, we will be bringing a bunch (while available) to the Cedar Crest Farmers Market on Wednesday afternoons from 3pm - 6pm. The Market is located in Cedar Crest, NM; at the vacant lot north of the Triangle grocery store/plaza.

I love pumpkins and adore autumn: The cool mornings, the colors, the flavors, celebrating the harvests and savoring all of it. Yes, Autumn truly is my favorite season.

I'd love to read your thoughts and comments. Have you tried any of these pumpkins? Do you have a different favorite heirloom baking/cooking pumpkin variety?
