🍈☀️ CANTALOUPE SEASON IS HERE! ☀️🍈

Straight from our farm and ready to sweeten up your summer! 🌱💚

We’ve got two delicious cantaloupes for you to choose from:

🍈 Sugar Cube Cantaloupe – smaller in size, but WOW on the sweetness! 🤩 These little guys are extra sweet and absolutely delicious.

Come grab a melon, take a bite, and taste the difference that fresh-from-the-farm makes! 🍈💚

🎃🚜 PUMPKIN PICKING ON THE FARM ~ PUMPKIN REPORT! 🚜🎃

Hey, pumpkin-picking fans! 👋🎃 Here’s the latest Pumpkin Report from the fields at Whitacre Family Farms!

🌼🎃 The pumpkin blossoms are coming on strong! We’re seeing lots of pumpkins getting started, with some early growers already showing good size while others are just beginning to develop.
And while this particular field isn’t showing orange just yet, we have other pumpkin fields that were planted earlier and are farther along in their growth. You’ll start seeing those pumpkins popping up at Shawnee Springs Markets as pumpkin season gets closer! 🎃🚜🧡

We’ll keep watching the fields and sharing updates as these little pumpkins grow into the big, beautiful pumpkins you’ll be picking this fall!

Stay tuned… the pumpkins are growing, and fall is on the way! 🍁🎃

Three Saturdays. One awesome pumpkin patch. Don’t miss it! 🍁🎃
