The Pumpkin Patch Is Now Open
A Pumpkin For Every Person!
Green Acres Nursery & Supply offers a wide variety of pumpkins perfect for decorating, carving and even eating. Here is a breakdown of some of our more popular pumpkins, squash and gourds.
Edibles
The following varieties are both beautiful and delicious.
Jarrahdale
Donning hues in unearthly blues, Jarrahdale is a rare heirloom pumpkin from Australia. Its golden colored flesh is mildly sweet, stringfree and great for baking. Although most people buy it for its cool color, squatty shape and deep ribs, this is also our most highly recommended pumpkin for pies.
Fairytale
Originally known as Musque de Provence, this is an old time favorite from France. It’s deep green when immature, and ages to a fine antique-looking sepia tone. The orange, fine-grained flesh is ideal for baking.
Lil' Pump-Ke-Mon
Perfectly portioned white-and-orange striped pumpkins, aren’t they cute? Try stuffing and baking them, or using them as decorative bowls for autumn-spiced soup.
Turk's Turban and Tiny Turks
Excellent for baking and stuffing, the bright red, white, and green squashes make stunning fall displays with mums and pumpkins of all kinds.
Cinderella
The true name of this heirloom variety from France is Rouge vif D’Etampes which is a description of its vivid red coloring. Its nickname is derived from its squat shape, which resembles the pumpkin that Cinderella’s fairy godmother turned into a carriage for her to ride in the night of the ball. No matter what you call it, this pumpkin is sure to impress as a decoration or baked into a pie.
Long Neck Squash
Ornamental and edible squash with a long crooked neck. The flesh is a deep orange, thick, and sweet. It is richly flavored, making it a great cooking squash for slicing and baking.
Ornamentals
The following varieties are notable for painting, carving, decorating or a festive fall centerpiece.
Mini
The perfect size for little toddler hands, this mini pumpkin is sure to inspire ‘awww’ in your festive fall display.
Lunch Lady
Warty and lovable, this medium-sized carving pumpkin is just begging to be transformed into a grinning witch. Will it be a good witch or a bad witch? Take one home and get creative.
One Too Many
This large barrel-shaped variety is swirled with pale pink and cream variegation. Said to resemble a bloodshot eyeball, its unusual color is sure to turn heads in a spooky Halloween theme.
Warty Goblin
Warty and lovable, this medium-sized carving pumpkin is just begging to be transformed into a grinning witch. Will it be a good witch or a bad witch? Take one home and get creative.
Gooseneck Green Gourd
This bright green-and-white striped serpentine gourd is somewhat bulbous at both ends, giving it a sort of avian appearance. Its hard skin makes it extremely long-lasting. It’s a fun gourd to paint or carve when dried.
Speckled Hound
Large hybrid winter squash with a vibrant orange exterior that is speckled with splashes of green. Each coloration is unique.
Big Max
Watch out for this behemoth! Big Max is a hefty pumpkin which makes a statement with your fall-themed decorations. It has cheerful, bright orange skin and tends to have one flat side from lazing about on the ground.
Carving Pumpkins
When people talk about a grinning Jack-O-Lantern, this is the variety that generally comes to mind. Medium to large, bright orange pumpkin has a ribbed, smooth exterior. Traditionally used for carving, but a perfect pick for fall displays, cooking, or baking.
Iron Man
This indestructible pumpkin comes in a deceivingly small package. Iron Mans are orange, round, and tough as nails. We like to cut off the stems and use them as bowling balls during our annual Fall Festival.
