Pumpkins
We Carry A Wide Variety of Pumpkins
At Fall Harvest Farm we specialize in planting a large variety of pumpkins/ squashes. This page will list some of the different varieties of pumpkins we grow, their culinary uses and pictures of what they look like on the outside and inside. The pumpkins/ squashes below are ones with culinary uses and not just used for decorative purposes. We also grow a variety of pumpkins/ squashes that are mainly only used for decoration. Come check out the farm to see all these varieties.
Pumpkin yields are very weather dependent. If you are looking for a specific variety please call ahead to confirm availability. Is there a variety you are looking for and don’t see below? No worries, chances are we do grow it and just don’t have a picture below. Many specialty pumpkins and squashes have more than one name for the same variety so we will do our best to try and find the variety you are looking for.
Are you looking for a larger order for fall weddings, anniversaries, Halloween parties…etc. Don’t be afraid to reach out and we will help you the best we can. White pumpkins are becoming very popular for fall weddings. Contact us today to help you with all your fall decorating needs.

Sunshine Squash
Also known as red kabocha or Ambercup. Bright red/orange skin. The bright orange flesh is sweet, nutty, creamy smooth, and completely stringless when baked.
Mashed Potato Squash
In the same family as the acorn squash. Pale yellow flesh. It’s not as sweet as a sweet potato but not as starchy as a white potato. Once baked and fluffed it resembles mashed potatoes.
Green Acorn/ Pepper Squash
One of the most popular squashes out there. Sweet yellow flesh with a nutty flavour. It’s slightly more fibrous in texture than a butternut squash.
Carnival/ Festival Squash
Most people don’t realize that this squash is not just used for decorative purposes. It looks like a cross between an acorn squash and a sweet dumpling squash. It’s the same size and shape as the acorn but it white with vertical green and orange stripes on it. Excellent for roasting slices for salads, sides or stuffing. Sweet nutty flavour. Inside looks identical to the green acorn squash.

Grown specifically for their seeds. Seeds are hulless and do not have the outside shell. They are green in colour and are perfect for roasting. They are small, only weighing 2 – 2.5 pounds but are packed with seeds. Once people try them they will always buy these for the seeds. A true pumpkin seed lovers favourite.

Just like the SnackJack pumpkin these are also grown specifically for the seeds. Much larger size pumpkins than the SnackJack but don’t be fooled, those little ones almost have the same amount of seeds in them than the Kakai pumpkin.
