Smashing pumpkins are a hit for farm shop
Down on the farm is it not wheat or maize being grown but smashing pumpkins.
About 50,000 pumpkins are being harvested at the Llynclys Hall Farm Shop near Oswestry ready for Halloween.
Already some have been transformed into incredible works of art.
Chainsaw artist Simon O'Rourke has carved faces into several pumpkins from the farm which he is using to raise money for the Erlas Victorian Walled Garden Project to save an historic garden just outside Wrexham.
Richard and Lynda Jones have been growing pumpkins at Llynclys Hall Farm near Oswestry for the last 20 years.
They planted a small pumpkin patch after they noticed how many of them were growing in the field on an American holiday and the crop proved so successful the acreage has grown every year.
This year they planted 10 acres and expect to pick 50,000 pumpkins and squashes of every size, shape and colour.
The sight of the pumpkins in the field and adorning the roof of the farm shop and barn was captured perfectly by the Shrewsbury based, Eye in the Sky Drone.
Visitors to their farm shop this autumn can not only choose their own pumpkin but can get recipes for using the flesh and seeds from the pumpkins.
Children can play in the pumpkin barn and, over half term families can enjoy events that include storytime sessions and creating autumnal art.
Pumpkins are also sent to wholesale markets to be sold to shop across the region.
Mrs Jones said: "We are not into scary Halloween and pumpkin lanterns and pumpkin carving is such a great thing for people of all ages to you. We now produce all different varieties of pumpkins and squash and have a variety of recipes for visitors to take away with them."
