Pumpkin Seed, Styrian
Pumpkin Seed, Styrian
This item is not presently for sale, please check back when ordering is open.
Hummingbird has been working with Oregon farmers for many years to bring this unique crop to our area. These raw Organic Pumpkin Seeds grown in Oregon are dark green and have a fresh, slightly nutty flavor.
The majority of pumpkin seeds sold in stores around the United States are grown in China. Julie and Charlie Tilt, Owners of Hummingbird Wholesale, wanted to bring pumpkin seed production home to the Willamette Valley. Hummingbird began pumpkin seed trials in 2003 and, in 2009, Julie and Charlie traveled to Styria, Austria to research cultivation of Gleisdorfer pumpkins -a hulless variety grown in that region.
The first few years of Oregon production were challenging. Crop failure and low yields were common as we worked with local growers and processors to understand the best growing practices. Today we have 150 acres contracted and we are so proud to offer this Organic, raw, Oregon-grown seed!
NOTE: This is a bulk item that comes in a 25 pound bag. Please specify a range you are willing to accept in the customer notes field. For example, min. 2 pounds, max. 10 pounds. We will adjust amounts among everyone who wants this product in order to assign the entire bag. If there are not enough people ordering, your order may get canceled. The more you are willing to take, the more likely the order is to go through.
Due to the large quantities we must purchase in order to enjoy wholesale pricing, we ask all members to order all Hummingbird items once a month only during the order cycle including the first Saturday of the month. Dates for this year may be found on the Hummingbird Producer page at the bottom of the descriptions in red: here. Please allow an extra Order Cycle for us to split and bag the orders.
