Want to know a little more about us?
Pumpkin Patch Fundraisers began 31 years ago. A farmer with some pumpkins (Richard Hamby) met a minister with a need for funds. The farmer agreed to let the church sell the pumpkins and they would share the proceeds. There was no contract, no legal proceedings, just a handshake and trust in each other. Thirty-one years later, while the minister has moved on and the congregation has changed, that church is still doing a Pumpkin Patch every October to fund their goals.
Their success and loyalty allowed us to offer the project to more churches. This partnership has been the key element in our growth. Today the Pumpkin Patch Family of churches and other non-profit organizations is made up of over 1300 locations, over 30 denominations in 48 states and is still growing. In 2005, our partners netted $3.6 million. The amazing part is that the relationship between us (we are still the farmers) and you remains based on faith and trust.
All of our Pumpkin Patch partners make money every year. You keep a percentage of sales. 
There are no hidden costs. We have locations that make a lot of money and those that make a little. However all of these locations will tell you how successful they are with the Pumpkin Patch. The majority of our locations measure their success with this fundraiser by the impact it has on their congregations and communities.
The concept of selling pumpkins to raise funds has evolved into so much more. In the hands of loving and caring individuals, these orange vegetables have changed lives. We are proud to have the opportunity to spend our lives doing something so rewarding. Hopefully, after October your church will be honored with the label “The Pumpkin Church”.
