For years this site only woke up in the fall. We’re changing that.
Festival of Pumpkins began as the website for a group of Snohomish Valley farms that promoted their pumpkin seasons together. It told you where the patches were, when they opened and what to wear. Then, every November, it went quiet until the next September.
We think there’s more to say. The same valley that grows all those pumpkins has bakeries, cafes, farm stands, breweries, antique shops and small businesses of every kind, and a lot of them are run by people with good stories. Most visitors only ever see the pumpkin patch. We’d like to show them the rest.
What you’ll see here
- Farm coverage, same as always. Profiles, fall roundups and pumpkin know-how.
- Local business spotlights. Real stories about the people behind places worth visiting, written after we’ve talked with them.
- Events around the valley, in fall and the rest of the year.
- A bit of history. We’ve been digging into the story of the festival and the Pumpkin Hurl, and there’s more to tell.
About sponsors
Some of these features will be sponsored. That’s part of how a small site like this keeps going. When a post is paid for, we’ll say so at the top, every time. Sponsors get a well-told story. They don’t get to buy our opinion. Our editorial policy spells it out.
