Known for premium asparagus and summer sweet corn, TGF is quickly becoming a go-to source for seasonal Michigan-grown vegetables in high consumer demand. This fall, the company will be shipping traditional orange pumpkins, white pumpkins, and heirloom varieties, as well as winter squash including acorn, spaghetti, and butternut.

“We’re proud to bring the same quality and service our customers expect from our spring and summer programs into the fall,” said Blake Hansen, National Sales Manager. “Retailers can count on us to deliver picture-perfect pumpkins and flavorful winter squash that are ready to move in produce and seasonal displays.”

Michigan is consistently ranked among the top five pumpkin-producing states in the United States, harvesting nearly 90 million pounds annually. TGF sources only the best seed varieties, ensuring that each harvest yields some of the largest, most vibrant Jack-O’-Lantern pumpkins in the Midwest. Whether for carving, decorating, or culinary use, TGF ships pumpkins nationwide to meet the seasonal surge in demand.

“Our pumpkins consistently stand out for their size, shape, and color,” Steve Rudat, Account and Supply Chain Manager. “Whether you’re looking for truckloads of uniform bins or decorative assortments with heirlooms and whites, our goal is to help you build successful, eye-catching seasonal programs.”

TGF’s fall offering also includes robust volumes of Michigan-grown winter squash, with promotable volumes of acorn, butternut, and spaghetti squash ready to ship alongside pumpkins starting in early September.
