We did it!!! We reached our goal!! The majority of our Pumpkin Patch sales benefit the Navajo Nation in New Mexico, who grow our pumpkins, and “Pumpkin Patch Fundraisers.” We receive a percentage of the sales, which is a tiered formula based on our overall sales. Thanks to sales today and a generous donation from an Angel, in this, our 18th year of running the Pumpkin Patch, we have finally reached the illusive 40% mark. We couldn’t have done this without all of the wonderful volunteers who helped unload the precious orange cargo and ran the pumpkin patch, and of course the many customers who faithfully visit our Patch each year. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
