If any of you have been travelling up Lansdowne Street West and have noticed a field speckled with plenty of orange, well that is the home of Peterpatch Pumpkins. Owner/Operators Jared Patton and Natalie Schnurr worked long and hard this past Spring planting and caring for all the seeds in hopes of a successful first season. Their hard work has paid off with three acres of nearly 10,000 pumpkins waiting to find homes.
Peterpatch Pumpkins welcomes school/daycare trips and other visitors of course. They are located at 2312 Lansdowne St. W. and can be reached at 705.761.1475.
Have a listen to Natalie's recent interview on CBC's Ontario Morning to learn more about Peterpatch Pumpkins.
