With the exodus of processors from the Skagit Valley we have become a fresh market farm. The Great Pumpkin Patch history was a small dairy farm homesteaded by the Hansen Family. It was held in this family for 4 generations. For the last 15 years it has been farmed by the Schuh Family and is now owned by the Schuh’s. This is our “Great Pumpkin Patch” to grow for generations to enjoy. AGFARMATION: In 1998, Skagit Valley farms produced 15,034 acres of peas for processing; in 2001 that was reduced to 5,307 acres.
