As heady as the apple farm was on Saturday (see previous post), the pumpkin farm we visited immediately after was equally a sensory overload.
Gordon Skagit Farms is a third generation farm specializing in harvest fare that evokes the classic autumn experience – pumpkins, squashes and Jonagold apples.
But mainly pumpkins – heirloom, orange, red, yellow, white, gray, blue, round, flat, oval, tiny, big and even some called Cinderella. Including one or two that actually…just might..be big enough…to be turned into a carriage…
Owner Eddie Gordon is, not only a passionate farmer, proud of his beautiful crops, but also an accomplished painter and brilliant display artist. He transforms his farm into an outdoor gallery for his dramatic, large-scale pumpkin-themed paintings and his barnyard into a visual feast of outrageously creative pumpkin and gourd displays.
Add in laughing parents wheelbarrowing eager kiddies out to the fields to painstakingly choose their pumpkins for a truly memorable autumn day.
This looks like such a fun place! I love the displays! Thanks for sharing your visit.

i had no idea that there were so many different kinds of pumpkins lol. we really don't get them here in ireland, only the odd couple in the supermarkets at halloween, so it's fantastic to see such a lush series of photos of them. these are gorgeous, that farmer/artist seems to have quite the talent for display! beautiful work, this is a gorgeous post :)
Thank you so much, Lynda and Éadaoin! Yes, pumpkins are a big deal here. I must say, my favorite thing about them, though, is pumpkin pie! xo
These are absolutely magical! I especially like the shot of the two pint sized pumpkins resting on the weathered picket fence. Stunning shots – I could look at them joyfully all day!
Wishing you the loveliest of evenings, darling soul!
