RMT Farms Annual Pumpkin Collection
Are you wondering what to do with all those pumpkins once Halloween is over? Don't let them go to waste! Here at RMT Farms, we run our annual Pumpkin Collection each year to gather pumpkins for our beloved animals. Pumpkins are not only a beautiful decoration for the fall season but also a nutritious treat for our furry friends. Donating your pumpkins to our animals can make a real difference in their health and well-being.
After Halloween, your jack-o-lanterns may have served their purpose as a festive decoration, but they can serve a new purpose as a tasty snack for our animals. Pumpkins are rich in vitamins A and B, proteins, and fibers, all of which are beneficial to our animals' health. Vitamin A helps boost their immune system, while pumpkin seeds are a natural dewormer for our goats.
Did you know that pumpkin seeds contain an amino acid called cucurbitacin that can help prevent worm infestations? Additionally, pumpkin seeds are packed with essential nutrients like copper, manganese, and zinc, making them a wholesome treat for all our animals. By donating your pumpkins, you not only reduce waste but also provide our animals with a nutritious treat that they will enjoy.
If you're interested in donating your pumpkins to our animals, it's simple and easy to do! We accept both carved and uncarved pumpkins, so whether your pumpkin has a spooky face or is untouched, we welcome them all. However, please note that we cannot use painted, artificially preserved, or partially rotted pumpkins, so please ensure your donation meets our guidelines.
You can drop off your pumpkins outside the farm stand at 404 Academy Rd, Litchfield, in the black container anytime during our Pumpkin Collection, which runs from November 1st to November 12th each year.
If you'd like to see the joy on our animals' faces as they enjoy your donation, feel free to visit during our open hours and watch the goats go crazy over the pumpkins - it's a heartwarming sight for both kids and adults alike!
Donating your pumpkins to our animals at RMT Farms is a simple yet impactful way to give back to the community and help support our furry friends. By providing them with nutritious treats like pumpkins, you're not only reducing waste but also enriching their diet with essential vitamins and nutrients.
So, this year, instead of tossing your pumpkins in the trash or compost pile, consider donating them to our annual Pumpkin Collection. Your contribution will make a real difference in the lives of our animals, and you'll be spreading joy and smiles all around. Together, let's make this year's Pumpkin Collection the best one yet!
Don't miss out on the opportunity to give back - join us at RMT Farms for our annual Pumpkin Collection and make a difference with your pumpkins.
