Pumpkins for Pigs 2021!

Thanks to All of You who took the time to drop off your pumpkins! We collected well over 1000 pumpkins this year.

So many happy pigs!

Given the great support for this event, we are looking forward to our fourth year of Pumpkins for Pigs next fall! [Any extra pumpkins, please put them in your green bin or compost.]

This year, intact pumpkins were also delivered to Food for Thought Cafe to help combat food insecurity. Pumpkins were transformed into a nutritious fall-inspired meal for their clients. You can link to their website here: https://www.foodforthought.cafe
