Growing the Perfect Pumpkins for Halloween at Sandy Bottom Farm

Nestled in the heart of East Yorkshire lies Sandy Bottom Farm, which come late September turns into a pumpkin paradise where  Halloween festivities come to life. With a passion for pumpkins and a commitment to sustainable farming, the pumpkins are now growing extremely well but much work goes into ensuring our pumpkins are the best around and it all starts with soil….

Each pumpkin variety is carefully chosen for its adaptability to the local climate and its potential to thrive under the tender care of our team.

4. A Seasonal Dance with Nature:

Watching the pumpkins grow at Sandy Bottom Farm is like witnessing a seasonal dance with nature.
