Around here we call Nic our Pumpkin King. For years he's been growing giant pumpkins, carefully saving the seeds for planting the next spring, and hoping for bigger and better squash each year. He's a bit disappointed with this year's crop due to the dry summer, but we think the results speak for themselves. The biggest (in the foreground) weighed in at a whopping 553 pounds!

The pumpkins were all grown at Nic's farm and put on pallets once they were deemed likely giants. Nic trucked these over to us, weighed them in, and they're now residing in front of our Farmers Market. They've become the Farms' prime photo-op of the autumn, with both kids and adults posing on and around them. They should last through Halloween, so come on out to see them.
