An Amazing Year for the Casselberry Pumpkin Patch!

Wow, we sold our very last pumpkin last night and are in the process of dismantling the Casselberry Pumpkin Patch. The youth at Community United Methodist were amazing this year and Emily and Amy made it through their first year in charge of the oldest and biggest pumpkin patch in Orlando. Thank you SO MUCH to the community for supporting us. It would (obviously) not be possible without you. We distributed somewhere around 20,000 pumpkins to Casseberry and Orlando area residents. We would be THRILLED to see your carved pumpkins, jack-0-lanterns, or any other ideas. Please feel free to post a comment and/or photo. Thanks!

More Pumpkins for your Orlando Pumpkin Patch

Wow...another LOADED shipment of pumpkins. Roughly 6,000 new pumpkins last night. I helped unload and can attest that these are some of the biggest pumpkins I have ever seen. Just unbelivable. It took about 3 hours to unload the truck of pumpkins and get them spread throughout the patch. So stop by and tell em the website sent you!

The Longest Standing Orlando Pumpkin Patch is OPEN!!

The pumpkins arrived in awesome shape. Imagine unloading a full sized-semi truck from front to back, floor to ceiling with pumpkins. It took about 60 members of our church and youth group to unload the approximately 5,000 pumpkins. We get to do it all over when batch 2 comes on October 15th!

Pumpkin Patch Set to Open

Sunday night, the youth of CUMC all came together to set up the patch and get ready for the pumpkins to arrive on Wednesday. They laid out the palets, spread hay, and set up the pumpkin store. It was a lot of work but nothing compared to whats to come on wednesday. This coming wednesday at 4:30 the youth and any other volunteers will come out to unload an entire 18 wheeler full of pumpkins. The Casselberry Pumpkin Patch features pumpkins that weigh over 50 lbs to the small pie pumpkins. It will be a lot of hard work but will be worth all the energy in the end. We hope to do really well this year with new products in our store and plenty of pumpkins to sell. Come out and help support Casselberry's Community United Methodist Church youth groups while having fun picking out your favorite pumpkin.
