    Pumpkin Shortage !!!

    Silly info to some, important to others (ME) I just read this article that there is a canned pumpkin shortage !!!! Apparently Libby, who makes a lot of canned pumpkin, had many of their fields flooded during harvest, and couldn't bring the pumpkins in before rotting. So, if you Love pumpkin, you might want to stock up what you find til next years harvest.

    Here's the link for the article.....

    Re: Pumpkin Shortage !!!

    That's right!

    A lot of the pumpkins come from Illinois. In October and early November, it rained almost daily. There were never 2 days in a row that were dry!!!
    Rainiest October in many years!

      that is a bummer. I assume prices will go up. Last fall I bought up so many cans because prizes dropped after Thanksgiving and I stocked up. I still have some of my own pumpkin in the freezer though.

        Re: Pumpkin Shortage !!!

        Support your local farmers and buy pie pumpkins direct from them or from area produce markets or stores selling locally grown pumpkins. They didn't all get flooded out, and they would appreciate the business! ;-)

        Store in a cool dry place (50s is ideal) on wooden shelves or pallets or something similar (not on concrete) so air can circulate and don't let them touch each other. Don't store with apples. They will keep a few months this way, which might give you time to freeze some of your own pumpkin to hold you over until next year's crop!

        Always in support of local farming and de-centralized food production,
