Welcome

My name is Andy Wolf, and I have been growing pumpkins competitively since 1999, shooting for higher weights each year. I live in Cattaraugus County, which is in western New York State. I have grown 20 pumpkins over 700 pounds since 2001. In 2005 I grew what remains my personal best of 1,407 pounds - breaking the existing New York State record.

I travel to several weighoffs each fall mainly centered around NY, but have gone as far away as North Carolina, Kentucky, Iowa and eastern Massachusetts. I have had good experiences selling a pumpkin or two each year to help cover the costs of growing them. This website is an extension of that - an effort to reach more buyers and streamline the process of selling a few pumpkins each fall. My pumpkins have been used for display in Hong Kong, Florida, Texas, as well as locally.

I will post updates here during the late summer on what pumpkins I will have available for sale. It is usually late August or early September until I have a good idea on what the final weights will be. If you are thinking about purchasing, please contact me immediately.

My wife and I posing with our 1407 in the fall of 2005. This pumpkin was on display at Pumpkinville after the contest, and was featured in five newspaper articles. This is the picture that ran in the Jamestown Post-Journal. Displaying this pumpkin helped bring in some extra visitors, and began the interest in having a local pumpkin contest there.
