You’ll never believe who decided to visit Papa’s yesterday: it’s the Lunch Ladies! True. Honest. This variety of uber-sized gourds is called Lunch Ladies and they’re an exclusive in North Dakota at Papa’s Pumpkin Patch.

In fact, the ladies brought some of their “new variety” friends that Papa will feature over the next few days. Want a hint? Think wee-sized for one variety. Think pink for another variety. Think sweet for yet another.

Dress warm today. The high temp will be close to 60 — perfect fall weather and perfect for a trip to the country and Papa’s Pumpkin Patch! The patch is open 12-7 today. Admission is $3/person. Infants and toddlers 2 years and younger are free.
