Pumpkin Smash

Don’t Trash it, Smash it!

The Pumpkin Smash is an annual effort by communities to divert pumpkins from landfills by providing locations for residents to drop-off jack-o-lanterns to be composted. It is typically held each year the Saturday after Halloween and Rader Family Farms is participating again this year.

Bring your pumpkins to Rader Family Farms any time between 10am – 2pm on Saturday, November 2.

The Harvest Brew Coffee Shop & Bakery and our Retail Market will be open for purchases. No outdoor activities are open on the farm.

Educational and craft activities provided by University of Illinois Extension program. Thank you to our Sponsors from the Town of Normal and ISU Farm.
