Todd Greiner Farms Launches Pumpkin/Fall Shipping Season
On the heels of successful asparagus and sweet corn seasons, Todd Greiner Farms Packing (TGF) this week announced the start of its fall shipping season, offering a full lineup of pumpkins and winter squash starting the week of Labor Day.
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 US, 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.
In 2024 alone, Americans spent more than $750 million on carving pumpkins for Halloween, with approximately 145 million shoppers purchasing pumpkins at an average of $5.26 each. This fall item isn’t just festive—it’s profitable, driving consumer foot traffic and impulse buys in retail settings.
“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. With Michigan ranked No. 1 nationally in winter squash production, TGF brings a critical combination of quality, consistency and Midwest sourcing that today’s retail buyers are seeking.
Todd Greiner Farms is rooted in Michigan’s specialty crop leadership. As the second-most agriculturally diverse state in the US, Michigan ranks No. 1 in asparagus, cucumbers for pickling, winter squash, tart cherries and multiple dry bean varieties and is a top producer of apples, blueberries and summer squash.
With its year-round growing partnerships, packing infrastructure and now expanded sales and marketing programs, TGF is positioned to represent and ship Michigan’s best produce throughout all four seasons.
