6. A local farm

You may be able to score a deal on a pumpkin from a small local farm – one that doesn’t only grow pumpkins or operate as a full-fledged pumpkin farm. Also, check your pumpkin over carefully for any damage. If you see some minimal tears, it doesn’t hurt to try to haggle!

Hip Tip: Make the most of your purchase. Bake the seeds, cook the entire pumpkin, or use some of it in a recipe.
