Sep 25, 2024 | Stepp's Blog

Fall has arrived, and it’s time for one of the season’s most beloved traditions—picking the perfect pumpkin! Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard is your ultimate destination for all things pumpkin, whether you’re carving jack-o’-lanterns or creating your own autumn display. Let’s dive into the wide variety of pumpkins we offer and share some tips to help you find the ideal one for your fall needs.

Choosing the Perfect Pumpkin for Carving

When it comes to carving, the right pumpkin makes all the difference. Look for a pumpkin with a sturdy stem and smooth, even skin. The heavier it feels for its size, the better—it means the pumpkin’s flesh is thick, making it easier to carve. For those intricate jack-o’-lantern designs, opt for a pumpkin that’s symmetrical and has no soft spots or blemishes, which could indicate internal rot.

Selecting the Perfect Pumpkins for Decorating
