Squash and Gourd Varieties
At the Petaluma Pumpkin Patch and Amazing Corn Maze we have many varieties of gourds, all grown by Farmer Jim. We also have many varieties of winter squash at the Petaluma Pumpkin Patch and Amazing Corn Maze.
Deep down Jim Groverman admits he is a farmer at heart. “I like growing the best. That’s the most rewarding part of what I do in this business,” said Groverman, a fourth generation Sonoma County farmer.
As a relative of the Peterson farming clan, Groverman grew up watching busloads of kids arrive on the family ranch on Peterson Road in Sebastopol to pick pumpkins. Perhaps that sparked his interest in farming but it’s more likely that the urge to plant, grow, and harvest is part of the DNA passed down by his agricultural ancestors.
Jim's farming background is why you find more than pumpkins at the Petaluma Pumpkin Patch and Amazing Corn Maze. He loves introducing people to different varieties that are available at the Petaluma Pumpkin Patch of both squash and gourds.
Gourds for the Holidays
Watching the gourds take shape and grow is an especially fascinating process that never grows old. People come to the Petaluma Pumpkin Patch to choose gourds that will last through Thanksgiving and it becomes an annual tradition from our family to yours.
