Armstrong . “ We ’ re proud to offer a wide range of gourds that we ’ ve selected through the years for their special qualities .”
Regardless of whether one comes to Armstrong Farm to buy a gourd or pumpkin during the peak of the Fall season , purchase some sweet corn during the summer , or take home a batch of their Vermont-made maple syrup or maple cream , a trip to the farmstand is fun for the whole family . “ We ’ re open from whenever we start selling sweet corn — typically late July — until Halloween every year ,” says Herrington . “ The stand is open from 10AM – 5PM on weekdays and 9AM – 6PM on weekends , and we love when families and wedding parties come to take photos here .” Armstrong Farm ’ s commitment to family fun is wonderfully illustrated by a story best told by Keith
Armstrong himself : “ There was a mother who brought her three children to the farmstand one year . After they picked out their pumpkins , her young boy was upset because he thought his two older sisters got better pumpkins than he did . After the family paid for the pumpkins , they started walking back to their car . Before they left , I walked up to the boy and told him that if he didn ’ t like that pumpkin , he could give it back to me and exchange it for the pumpkin that really made him happy . We want people to enjoy their time here and make good memories whenever they come to visit .” n
