Pumpkin

Product description Pumpkin

Cucurbita maxima is a powerful hybrid, specifically bred for its impressive size and firm structure. With a relatively short cultivation period of approximately 100 days, these large pumpkins typically reach a weight between 9 and 14 kilograms. Each pumpkin features a large, dark green stem that remains firmly attached and contributes to its robust appearance.

Inside, a thick layer of deep orange flesh reveals a mild, earthy flavour. The texture is slightly more fibrous and moist than that of smaller sugar pumpkins, making this variety particularly suitable for large scale processing.

Environmental & biodiversity impact	Since 1984, the company has been dedicated to organic farming, resulting in naturally healthy soil. Environmental impact and biodiversity are inseparably linked to their working methods. Through extensive crop rotation, a different crop is grown each year, promoting soil health and naturally breaking disease cycles. This approach prevents monoculture and stimulates biodiversity across the 175 hectare farm.
Animal welfare	As an organic arable farm focusing on pumpkins and other open field vegetables, there is no livestock programme. However, organic cultivation is fully focused on supporting a healthy ecosystem, benefiting soil life and local fauna without the use of harmful chemical agents.
