ABOUT OUR FAMILY

The Van Groningen family has been growing row crops since 1939. Farming has changed a lot over the last 65 years, but one thing that hasnt changed is our familys commitment to provide quality products to you with friendly and honest service. Our family is committed to providing you with the best quality pumpkins and fall dcor you can find. Each year we try out new varieties and new products to continue to meet your needs in this ever-changing business. We strive to offer a huge selection of pumpkins and fall dcor items to fit all of your needs. Theres no need to shop anywhere else. Thats what we call one-stop shopping! Instead of loading in the field, we bring nearly all of our products into our facility to be cleaned, sized and shipped. We take this extra step to ensure you a clean and quality product. Its our attention to detail that continues to make us a leader in the pumpkin and fall dcor business. Let us help make your fall harvest season a success!

ABOUT OUR LABELS

Our Pamperd Farms label, used for our pumpkins, represents our commitment to farming. Farming isnt just our business, it is our way of life. Van Groningen & Sons started as a grower, and after 70 years in business, that is still our focus. Our determination to keep our promise to our customers is exemplified by the farmer watching over his fields on our label. Our pledge is to provide quality products from our fields to your front porch.

Our Pamperd label is used for some of our fall harvest ornamental items. It conveys the delicate handling (or pampering!) and attention to detail we dedicate to each customers order.
