Hello Big Pumpkin Growers

We're so excited to announce that we have a new major sponsor for our upcoming weigh off competition on Oct 2, 2021.

Urban Roots Garden Markets will be paying $1 per lb for the winning pumpkin!

We're lining up the remaining prize amounts for the other categories now, but wanted to spread the word.

Competition information can be found here:

Happy Growing!

Wow!! Cindy came all the way to Vancouver Island in 2019 to support our new Weighoff and scooped up first place prize money at the same time.

At $1.00 per pound for the winner (yeah about 80 cents American) I wonder if that will entice our American friends and neighbours in Washington State and Oregon?

I've always wanted to bring one to the coast but the thought of driving the coquihalla in October with a big pumpkin in the back... Eek!

Cmon Jordan, you’ve got a nice pumpkin going there and if you don’t come to the big city Weighoff, how will you ever earn your 1000 lb club patch?

Strap that thing to a truck or trailer and come to the Weighoff and meet all the growers you’ve been talking online to for all these years.
