Fall Jackpot

Last week I had to go to a very small town near the border of Iowa for an evaluation. I was there for two days with my colleague, Holly. On the way home, we past many charming farm markets on the side of the country roads. We decided to stop at one of them to buy some pumpkins to decorate our front porches.

The woman who was running this particular stand informed us that her 4 elementary aged children planted and raised the entire pumpkin harvest themselves. The money raised from selling the pumpkins will go towards their college funds. Isn't this a great idea! They posted a darling note by the box to collect money from their customers.

They had a large variety of pumpkins to choose from and we ended up with over 200 lbs of pumpkin in our little state car! They were so reasonably priced- $4.00 for a large pumpkin. We would have ended up paying $15 or $20 easily in a store.

It was great fun!

It is officially FALL in Wisconsin now.
