Our Story

My wife and I moved to Bavaria in 1985. Shortly before Halloween I went down town to look for a pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern, but could not find one, so I ordered one from a vegetable store. It was a big yellow ugly thing and it cost 20 Marks, which was about 10 €.

So the next year, I decided to try to grow a couple of pumpkins myself. That first year, we raised three pumpkins the size of a grapefruit. Through the years, we have become well seasoned in growing beautiful pumpkins.

Each year we plant 5 acres. This way we have enough pumpkins for all of our children, some left over to sell to our American/German friends, and neighbors!
