Kohala Mountain Farm Pumpkin Patch
Incidentally, if you read my earlier post, "The Great Pumpkin Debacle", Stacy was so generous as to apologize (completely unecessary) and explain why the patch will only be open one weekend:
Last year we had a lot more pumpkins. This year, I was had to cut off the water to the patch due a horrible infestation of spiny amaranth. That said I had to opt for being open only one weekend...So get up there, buy local, support Stacy's hard work. Don't forget to wear closed shoes (and even pants for the little ones)!
