What are heirloom pumpkin seeds?

Heirloom pumpkin seeds are open-pollinated varieties that have been passed down through generations. Unlike hybrids, you can save seeds from heirloom pumpkins and grow the same variety year after year. Most of our seeds are open-pollinated heirlooms, and we also carry a few F1 hybrids. All of our seeds are non-GMO.

What growing zone are your seeds tested in?

All our seeds are grown and tested on our Zone 6b homestead in Newton, Kansas. Most of our varieties also perform well in Zones 5-9. Each product listing includes specific growing zone recommendations.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes! We offer free shipping on orders of $35 or more. Orders under $35 pay USPS calculated shipping. Seeds ship via USPS First Class, and coffee ships fresh within 48 hours of roasting.

What makes your coffee different?

Our coffee is roasted in small weekly batches, Prairie Blaze right here in Kansas, and every 8 oz bag is packed and shipped fresh from Newton. Available in Prairie Sunrise (light roast) and Prairie Blaze (bold medium roast), ground or whole bean.

Are your pumpkin seeds vine borer resistant?

Many of our Cucurbita moschata varieties are naturally resistant to squash vine borers, including Seminole Pumpkin, Long Island Cheese, Tromboncino, and Mrs. Amersons. We highlight vine borer resistance on each product page.

History & Origin

Wan Fu (万福) means "ten thousand blessings" in Chinese, a fitting name for a prolific, reliable producer. This hybrid was developed to meet the high standards of Chinese home cooks who prize dense, dry, richly flavored squash flesh. It has gained a following in North American gardens for its reliability and culinary versatility.

In the Kitchen

Steam or roast halves and serve simply with butter and salt. The dense, dry flesh is ideal for Chinese-style red-braised pumpkin, congee, or steamed pumpkin pudding. Also excellent in Western applications, pumpkin pie, bisque, and roasted pumpkin salad all benefit from its concentrated, sweet flavor.
