Big orange pumpkins and Indian corn in abundance at Howell Living History Farm, where visitors can take their pick of the crop on Saturday, October 8.

Pumpkin picking will be offered at the 130-acre historical farm, operated by the Mercer County Park Commission. Besides picking pumpkins and Indian corn for their doorsteps, windowsills and centerpieces, visitors can help harvest pumpkins for the Farm’s pigs, cattle and chickens, the chief consumers of pumpkins, historically.

Throughout the day, visitors can purchase pumpkin pie and baked goods and “pick-your-own” pumpkins and Indian corn.
