For almost 80 years the Millers have farmed at Longclose which has supported crop rotations including wheat, barley, oats, vetches, maize, beans and fodder crops such as kale, rape and turnips, as well as grass for the cattle and sheep. Following the very wet autumn of 2019, part of the wheat crop failed to germinate and we found ourselves with a large bare patch in the corner of one of the fields. Having always had aspirations to diversify and try a novel crop such as pumpkins the opportunity presented itself when we found space for them, and so the dream became reality.
Michael and Vicki Miller run the farm business alongside their sons Quenton and Justin and their daughter Georgina. The family have all worked together, ably supported by Alice and Kelly, Quenton and Justin's respective wives.
Our pumpkins have all been individually grown from seed in our greenhouse and hand planted in the one and a half acre patch. We have hand watered and weeded the patch and not used any herbicides or pesticides. We have a mix of varieties which have produced a lovely variation of different sized orange and white pumpkins for you to choose from.
