Pumpkin, Squash & Gourd Varieties
The Genuine Floydada Pumpkin is the world’s finest Pumpkins and we produce lot of them…
B. A. “Uncle Slim” Robertson started raising pumpkins in the late 1950s, at the urging of Aunt Grace. He once received a letter addressed simply “To: The Pumpkin Man”. Later other farmers found that our climate, soils and knowledge base, proven by Uncle slim, offered a promising alternative and fun crop. Now Floyd County produces around 1100 acres of Pumpkins annually. Simply put we have the knowhow and desire to raise the best and widest variety of Pumpkins anywhere.

Assiter Punkin Ranch is the work in progress of the Assiter family’s endeavor with growing pumpkins. The Ranch is actually the iconic “Red Barn” that Granny Joy “just wanted”. Pa, Tommy Assiter, began raising pumpkins in the 1960’s, on the advice of Uncle Slim Robinson, the original Floydada pumpkin grower. Majority of the pumpkins grown were sold wholesale to vegetable brokers. In 1992, Granny Joy retired from her town job, as bank manager, and began decorating the front yard and driveway with pumpkins (mostly Big Maxx). Many people traveling down the highway stopped to buy pumpkins.
