Repurpose Your Pumpkin!

With Halloween quickly approaching, you may be looking at your Jack-o’-lantern and wondering when that smile wilted into a frown…but don’t worry! You can take your pumpkins to local farms for free and give them a second life! Until December 15th, pumpkins can be dropped off at local sites such as Jacob’s Fresh Farm, Rustic Roots Farm, and many others to be composted or fed to livestock. For hours and locations, view this resource:
