Glistening, orange jewels sit beside the highway, attracting drivers’ attention from near and far. Buyers stop, purchase and even chat with local farm owners Richard and Patsy Goodwin.

During the Halloween and fall season, the family was asked to put the pumpkins for sale next to The Brownie Cottage on Hwy. 78.
