🎃 Grady Swafford Farm Shifts to Fall Harvest in Pikeville

As October winds down in Bledsoe County, Grady Swafford Farm is marking the seasonal transition from summer vegetables to autumn pumpkins. The Pikeville farm, a fixture of local agriculture along the northern Sequatchie Valley, continues its tradition of direct-to-customer sales with a flexible approach that reflects the rhythms of valley farming.

📍 What’s Available Now

The farm’s summer vegetable season has concluded, but Jack Leonard pumpkins in various sizes are now in stock at the farm stand. 🎃 Prices are clearly marked on each item, making it easy for shoppers to select what works for their needs-whether for decoration, cooking, or seasonal displays.

💳 Flexible Payment Options
