Question 2

Other orders will be available for pickup on Saturdays from 9am -1pm at the Midcities Community Market (in the parking lot outside MidCities Montessori - 209 Harwood Road, Bedford). Look for the Biz-e-Teen booth.

Question 3

Are these real pumpkins or artificial pumpkins?

Answer

The majority of our pumpkins are REAL white pie pumpkins, averaging 8-12 lbs. We truck them in from Floydada... the pumpkin capital of Texas... to make sure they are fresh. Our hand painted pet portrait pumpkins can be done on real or artificial pumpkins. We understand this might be a rememberance that you'll want to display every year, so we are making artificial pumpkins available for this reason.

Question 4

Is this a high school business class?

Answer

The high school students at MidCities Montessori learn about entrepreneurship as part of their core curriculum. In 2019, they started and managed Pumpkin Hollow-Bedford pumpkin patch. They practiced customer service, marketing, finance and many other business skills as they earned money to finance their travel expenses to the Lifesmarts National Championship. This year, due to COVID-19 we have decided to pivot and change our business model. Rather than sell regular pumpkins we are creating customized pumpkins so that you can represent your favorite school, business or organization. You can also order hand-painted pet portraits on your pumpkin! Whatever you have in mind... just let us know!

Question 5

How long do pumpkins last?

Answer

Pumpkins can go outside, but we recommend they not be placed in constant sun. Texas weather can be brutal and direct sunlight along with high temperatures will speed up the "aging process." Pumpkins kept inside, in cool, dry conditions can last 2-3+ months.

Question 6

Do you have a pumpkin patch?

Answer

Yes, we manage a small, indoor pumpkin patch inside the atrium at Midcities Montessori school. We have several hundred pumpkins to choose from including Large Jacks, White Pies, and Minis in a variety of colors. So when other pumpkin patches are closed for rain, we are still open, and our pumpkins are fresh and dry.
