Want to know about the Farm?

At first, Richard and Janice Hamby grew the pumpkins in different locations in the Carolinas and Georgia. Then in 1989, when Hurricane Hugo hit the east coast, our crop was destroyed. Because the owners were committed to our partners to provide pumpkins, they went far and wide to buy pumpkins to supply to our partners. One of the places they found especially beautiful pumpkins was on the Navajo Reservation in Farmington, NM.

The following year, we entered into an agreement with the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry (NAPI) to grow pumpkins. We lease the land and grow our pumpkins on the Navajo Reservation. The Pumpkin Patch pays for the land lease on the reservation, seeds, cultivation, fertilization, pollenization, irrigation, labor, trucking, communicaiton, etc. in order to provide this risk-free opportunity to our partners.

Our partners do not pay for any damaged, unsold or walking pumpkins (you know, the ones that get up and walk away). We only share the profit on actual sales of pumpkins and inventory.
