This October, we\u2019re celebrating California\u2019s fall harvest season, along with California Farmer and Farmworker Month \u2013 by exploring the people, places, and flavors that make our state\u2019s agriculture special. In partnership with CA GROWN\u2019s<\/a> new digital hub \u2014 Experience California Agriculture<\/a> \u2014 we\u2019re highlighting farm adventures across the Golden State. From hands-on u-pick orchards and vineyard tours to local food experiences, this new resource makes it easier to connect with California\u2019s vibrant agricultural communities across the state!<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting your local pumpkin patch is practically a mandatory fall activity. Adults and children alike flock to family-friendly pumpkin patches to snap a few pics, maybe take a hayride, and \u2013 of course- to pick the perfect pumpkin. At Hunter Farms<\/a> in Atwater, California, you can do all that \u2013 and a whole lot more. We dropped in to chat with Scott Hunter to learn a little bit about how he went from almond farmer to pumpkin patch proprietor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How did the Hunter Family get into farming?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1971, Scott\u2019s parents, Wil and Connie Hunter, purchased some farm land in Livingston, California. At the time, the family was living in Southern California. Scott was still in school and very active in athletics. So, during the early years, they traveled back and forth between Central and Southern California. Eventually, his parents moved up to the Central Valley, and Scott went to Cal Poly Pomona on a baseball scholarship. About a year and a half after Scott graduated, his father presented him with an interesting opportunity. His parents wanted to expand their farming operation to include almonds, and asked Scott if he wanted to join them. In 1992, Scott moved to the Central Valley and became a farmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how did the Hunter Family get into the pumpkin business? \u201cIt\u2019s a unique story,\u201d Scott notes, \u201cSometimes the Lord works in mysterious ways\u201d.  After Scott joined the fray, the Hunter family\u2019s farming operation grew. In 2011, they acquired a piece of property that was formerly a dairy. They planned to plant almonds on site, and went ahead with the necessary soil treatments to amend the ground. Unfortunately, California was in the midst of a severe drought. The young almond trees failed to thrive, and eventually died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did the Hunter Family decide to start a pumpkin patch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a way to salvage the situation, they decided to plant three acres of pumpkins \u2013 and then had the brilliant idea to plant a corn maze as well. The following fall, they opened up their fledgling pumpkin farm to the public.  \u200b\u200bThe community came out in droves. \u201cI remember saying that if we had 10 or 20 cars in the parking lot, it would be really cool. We had a lot more than 20 cars,\u201d Scott recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encouraged by their initial success, the Hunter Family started working on even bigger and better plans for the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They added more attractions and grew even more varieties of pumpkins. \u201cAnyone can go to the store and buy the typical orange pumpkin. We wanted to grow unique pumpkins. We pride ourselves on the big stems. You can\u2019t find those in stores \u2013 the stems will pierce the other pumpkins in transit,\u201d he proudly states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Hunter Farms boasts eight family friendly attractions -ranging from a time-travel train to a zip line \u2013  and sells over 70 varieties of pumpkins. All of the pumpkins sold at Hunter Farms are grown on site. Scott personally oversees every step of the process, from planting to harvest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are pumpkins grown at Hunter Farms?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All Hunter Farms pumpkins are grown from locally sourced pumpkin seeds. Hunter Farms times their plantings to make sure that they will have a constant supply of fresh pumpkins throughout the month of October. The seeds are started off in trays in May or June. After 7-10 days, the seedlings have germinated and are ready to plant in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPumpkins are a temperamental plant,\u201d Scott explains. \u201cPumpkins are very subject to water, either too much or too little, insects and also the quality of your ground.\u201d Drip lines ensure that each plant gets just the right amount of water and nutrients, and Hunter Farms works with a team of specialists to determine when and how to best treat any insect issues that may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are pumpkins sustainably grown?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSustainable farming is an important part of our family\u2019s business plan,\u201d Scott states. He defines sustainable farming as \u201cmethods used to make sure that you\u2019re putting back what you take out.\u201d The Hunter Family has installed solar fields that power their pumps and provide for the facility\u2019s electric needs. They conserve water by using drip irrigation on all of their crops, and use compost as fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are pumpkins harvested at Hunter Farms?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to tell when pumpkins are ready to harvest. \u201cHow do you know when pumpkins are ready to harvest? They turn orange,\u201d Scott deadpans. Pumpkin plants have a limited life cycle, so it\u2019s important not to wait too long after they\u2019ve ripened to harvest. \u201cIf you wait too long, that pumpkin plant will get weaker and weaker,\u201d Scott explains.  \u201cIn the Central Valley, the heat can become an issue. We have to make sure the sun doesn\u2019t burn our plants. The minute they start maturing, the plants themselves start to brown up. When they don\u2019t have any more shade, the sun will burn them, and they become susceptible to insects. So once they\u2019re ready to go we get them outta there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hunter<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Harvest typically commences in late September and continues throughout the month of October. This ensures that there is a constant supply of pumpkins while the Pumpkin Patch is open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During harvest, Scott leads a team of family and crew members. Each pumpkin is harvested by hand. The team uses a sharp knife to carefully cut each pumpkin from the vine, and places them into wooden storage bins. The bins are transported on a trailer to the barn, where they are sold to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should you visit Hunter Farms Pumpkin Patch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scott is proud that Hunter Farms is a great place for families to disconnect from their devices and reconnect with each other. Younger children will enjoy an adventure through the ages on the \u201cTime Travel Train\u201d, or getting up close and personal with farm animals at the Critter Corral. There are plenty of fun activities for older kids and adults, too \u2013 everything from ziplines to corn maze \u2013 and much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the week, Hunter Farms hosts local elementary schools. Ag education is important to Scott. \u201cWe wanted to expose kids to the importance of agriculture in California. For them to know where their food comes from,\u201d he says. To this end, Scott designed a giant animatronic puppet show, based on the Hollywood Squares game, starring farm animals. The interactive game teaches children about topics like farm animals, California\u2019s agricultural commodities, and water conservation. Over 5000 children experience this \u201cag edu-tainment production\u201d each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the coolest things about our place is that when you get here, you put your phone away \u2013 and I like that,\u201d Scott confesses. \u201cYou\u2019re seeing parents and kids interacting with each other. We\u2019re giving people the opportunity to enjoy their family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
