At the Pumpkin Festival we teach that God made the pumpkin. Pumpkins are a healthy vegetable, as well as a colorful fall decoration.  God has blessed us with these wonderful vegetables, that keep well in winter time and provide important nutrition. The pilgrims and early settlers of America were grateful to have pumpkins to eat, as other vegetables did not store well. Pumpkins
were a dietary mainstay...and were part of the Thanksgiving tradition from the start! 

Here, at Shepherd's Cross, we thank the Lord for the harvest of vegetables of every conceivable variety. Join us in rejoicing in the bounty of His blessings! Look for our pumpkin recipes when you come to the patch this year.  There are many uses for this wonderful vegetable, and we sell all kinds for both decoration and for making delicious foods such as pies, breads, soups...even snacks!

The Pumpkin Festival is a fun & educational experience.
