Welcome to The Pumpkin Patch Mum, a down-to-earth and heartwarming podcast where we explore the vibrant, sometimes messy life of farming, family, and everything in between! In today's episode, I'm joined by two of our long-standing team members, Ryan and Dave, who I like to call my personal "Pumpkin Patch Handymen." They’ve been hard at work helping transform the pumpkin patch, including a brand new project—converting a container into a display for our pumpkin patch merchandise and even building a lorry display for photos!

We'll chat about some of the most random and fun requests I've made, from setting up swings to creating a sandpit for the kids. Ryan and Dave share their thoughts on the best (and strangest) projects they’ve tackled and give us a behind-the-scenes look at how the patch has evolved over the years. Plus, we discuss their excitement for this season’s new features, like the bigger patch and the maze!

The Foxes Farm pumpkin team recall early memories, like Guy’s mother-in-law running the Colchester patch single-handedly, greeting visitors like old friends. They also share amusing tales of people trying to steal pumpkins, even under the cover of darkness, and how they once caught thieves hiding their children under pumpkins in a wheelbarrow!

The discussion moves on to the expansion of the patch, which has now become a major family event with activities for children. They recount a particularly wet season where they ended up pushing cars out of muddy fields and collapsing with exhaustion afterward.

Amidst the humour, they reflect on the stress of managing large crowds, especially the chaotic early days. Despite the hard work, the hosts express excitement for the upcoming season, sharing how they’re setting up signs and preparing to make the pumpkin patch an unforgettable experience for visitors.
