Pumpkin
Buyers and Sellers List
The OSU Vegetable Team put together a list of pumpkin
seller's/supplier's in 2007, with the goal of putting BUYER'S in touch with
SELLER'S. Most growers surveyed said they liked the exposure and wanted
to do it again this year.
We are getting a later start this year so we thought we would keep
all of last year's growers on the list and assume the contact information,
size, and quantities, etc., would be similar to last year's information.
If not, please update your information at:

Best wishes for a great fall sales season!
