More tips: your first u-pick visit.
How to pick like a pro
- Is it ripe?
Look for an even, deep color, a hard rind your fingernail cannot dent, and a dry, firm stem.
- How to pick
Cut the vine with pruners and leave 3 to 4 inches of stem. Carry pumpkins from underneath, never by the stem.
- Best time to go
Late September to mid October for the best selection. Go after a few dry days; patches get muddy after rain.
- Keep it fresh
Uncarved pumpkins last 2 to 3 months in a cool, dry spot. Carved ones last about a week.
Farm country: Cook County
Cook County had 154 farms in the latest USDA Census of Agriculture (2022). Of those, 36 sold food straight to the public and 16 earned money from agritourism like u-pick and tours.
