Why Pumpkin Pancakes? 

Pumpkin is the star of the season, and for good reason. It’s not only packed with flavor but also loaded with nutrients like vitamin A and fiber. At the farm, we harvest pumpkins in all shapes and sizes, perfect for cooking, baking, or carving. Our pumpkin pancakes are made from fresh, farm-grown pumpkins that are roasted and pureed to bring out their rich, sweet taste. If you haven’t tried them yet, they’re a must-try for an unforgettable fall treat!
