Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
In Scania, a region of southern Sweden, several farms are now open for pumpkin picking as the autumn season begins.
The Glifstam family at Ängsåkragård farm near Vellinge is holding its fourth annual pumpkin market. Theresa Glifstam began carving pumpkins as a hobby, then expanded to help friends, and eventually started growing pumpkins on her family’s farm, which also produces grains, onions, peas, potatoes, and corn.
The Glifstams started selling pumpkins from their garage before moving to a larger farm sale four years ago, due to increased popularity. This year’s market has drawn more visitors than ever, with people enjoying pumpkins, food stalls, tractor displays, and activities for children. Ängsåkragård’s pumpkin market is open every Saturday from late September to October 31st. Other farms in the area, including Pumpalandet in Löddeköpinge, Janstorps lantbruk near Skurup, and Hallongården near Trelleborg, also offer pumpkins for sale or self-picking.
Pumpkins are also available at the vegetable market in Möllevångstorget in Malmö. The article also includes two pumpkin recipes from Ängsåkragård: pickled pumpkin and pumpkin soup.
