In general, are pumpkins more expensive when bought at a farm or a grocery store? I’ve only bought them at grocery stores before, and now that I plan to buy several, I’m curious.

Where I live they are cheaper at the greenhouse & farm. Better yet they are not all full of holes and going to rot before Halloween.

Don’t forget to instist it’s going to be used for baking, you then pay no tax on them.
