Field Trip pumpkins are a classic front-porch pumpkin: small, round, deep orange, with tidy ribbing and a long, sturdy handle built for carrying. Named “Field Trip”, this is the pumpkin sized for school pumpkin-picking trips, light enough for a kid to lug home and proudly display. Set a few on the steps, line them along a mantel, or stack them into a small fall display, each one just the right size to hold its own.

At 5 to 7 pounds it is easy to arrange and easy to carve, with plenty of surface for a jack-o-lantern face. It is at its peak right through Halloween. Pair it with mums, gourds, and dried corn stalks for a full autumn spread.
