Every fall, Farmer Neal walks families through the same five checks and every fall they come back to tell us their pumpkin was still sitting pretty on the porch weeks later.
So we wrote them down for you. Swipe through Neal's guide to choosing a pumpkin that lasts, even in South Mississippi heat, then save this for patch day.
Send it to the friend who's already planning their fall porch.
Come choose yours starting Opening Day, Saturday, October 3, right here in Wiggins. You don't have to leave Stone County for a pumpkin patch memory.
