The pumpkins are ripe so Andy headed out to visit one of our favorite pumpkin growers, Matt Kroul at Kroul Farms, in order to get started picking and officially kick off the season:
They come in all different shapes and sizes:
The growing season so far has been a good one and so the farm is appropriately decorated:
The corn maze is all ready:
And the mums are plentiful:
A sincere thanks to Matt for showing us around. Starting tomorrow, you can plan your own visit to Kroul Farms on Highway 1 between Mt. Vernon and Solon, or find their produce at local HyVee and Fareway stores.
