A few years back, I saw a crew out harvesting pumpkins at one of the few farms left in St. Louis County. My guess was that all the workers were Hispanics. Perhaps there's shortage of cheap labor to get those pumpkins out of the muddy fields. I witnessed someone turn a gourd into pies. Too much work and beside my slice of pie was stringy.

It made me wonder why they did not buy from around here... believe me, we had anything BUT a pumpkin shortage this year. The CSA gave us at least six, we bought on the side of the road for cheap, and you could see them unharvested because they were so inexpensive. Maybe the type of pumpkin was not quite right?
