If you live in America, chances are you’ve tasted Dickinson Pumpkin at Thanksgiving. This is the variety that Libbey’s uses in its pumpkin pie filling, an American staple for decades (and by far the bestselling pumpkin variety). We are delighted to make available organic seed so that now you can grow and eat your own Dickinson right from the backyard!

What makes Dickinson so prized as pie filling? Well, it’s undoubtedly flavor, flavor, and still more flavor. This is a sweet yet meaty and hearty squash, with a great deal of delicious bright orange flesh.

These pumpkins, which weigh in at up to 40 pounds, offer an outer shell of buff to tan, lightly furrowed and ranging in shape from oblong to nearly cylindrical, with a “bulb” at the base containing the seed cavity. They average about 14 inches in diameter and can stretch up to 18 inches long — or be rounder and shorter. The long-necked fruits are especially handy for removing all the flesh neatly and quickly — great if you’re canning or freezing your harvest.

Dickinson is an heirloom variety, and it’s easy to see why it has stood the test of time so brilliantly. Easy to grow and quite productive, it’s a crowd pleaser and a canner’s joy. Grow it as part of your Three Sisters planting, or let it ramble in a pumpkin patch. Children love these big squashes, from the smooth rind to the yummy seeds, just right for roasting. And their parents and grandparents appreciate the generous yields of delectable filling. Make Dickinson your “go to” pumpkin for unforgettable pies, soups, and casseroles!
