Halloween’s almost here and it’s time to pick out your pumpkin! Come to the market to find a wide variety of squash, good for eating — and carving. From the traditional jack-o’-lantern and ghost pumpkins, to kabocha and kuri, MFM’s farms are bringing pumpkins in all shapes and colors. You’re sure to find a unique canvas that will set your carving apart from the crowd.
Check out our free pumpkin carving ideas with a farmers market twist!
- Get a copy of your stencil at the market when you buy your pumpkin, or click to download and print your stencils.
- Tape onto pumpkin.
- CAREFULLY poke holes along the dashed lines with a skewer or knife to make cutting easier.
- Cut along the dashed line and remove unused pieces (compost!).
- Place tea lights or glow sticks in pumpkin so it will glow in the dark!
