Bring your spent jack-o’-lanterns to the farm + enjoy the cathartic release of smashing your own artwork! Guts will be composted.
About this EventNov. 15! PUMPKIN SMASH 2026! Compost your pumpkins or feed them to the hogs Urbavore Farm.
-->Every November we host Pumpkin Smashing parties to keep pumpkins out of landfills + give them a second life in the soil.
-->Pumpkins are big, heavy, and take a lot of energy, time, water, and labor to grow. Yet, every fall, countless pumpkins end up in landfills, where they take up valuable space and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
-->Breaking pumpkins into smaller pieces helps speed up the composting process, turning them into nutrient-rich compost that helps grow more food!
