Who is this event for?
Anyone is welcome to join us!
- If you’re a foodie and want to deep dive into pumpkin as an ingredient (or even if you aren’t sure about them, but want to try them).
- Chefs or home cooks who are passionate about ingredients and excited by the possibilities from embracing crop diversity. (PS. If you’re a chef we can grow to order next season if there are pumpkins you’d especially love on your menu).
- If you are a Grower at home, the allotment or commercially - pumpkins take up valuable space so you want to be sure you're growing ones you love and that give you enough food for your labour of love.
(PS. Kids and younger palates are very welcome, but they might get a little bored depending on how much they are into food)
