Morrison's Pumpkin Farm

 A week ago we drove over to Morrison Pumpkin Farm just south of Collingwood. It was a perfect day, bright and sunny and remarkably warm for October!  There were both lots of pumpkins and a corn maze.  And it was easy to get around in my wheelchair, if a little uncomfortable at times.

There were plenty of the classic big orange pumpkins, perfect for Hallowe'en, all spread out on wagons waiting for customers.  Of course one of these came home with us.

There were lots of other colour variations too.

There warty pumpkins and green pumpkins.

And there were tables full of small pumpkins.  Quite a few of these came home with us too.

I was interested to discover that Morrison Pumpkin Farm has a conservation easement on it, registered with the Ontario Farmland trust.  This is an organization that I started while still at the University of Guelph.  It has been promoting easements as a vehicle for preserving farmland ever since.  With Collingwood looming almost within sight up the road, it seemed very appropriate here.
