Mermaids & Sharks at Jucker Farm’s Pumpkin Festival

Each year we eagerly anticipate the Pumpkin Festival to see what sculptures the artists will come up with! Last year we had unicorns and this year we have mermaids, sharks and many other creatures to complete this underwater adventure.

Pumpkins Galore

Escape the hustle and just 30 minutes outside Zurich you will find a breathtaking world of pumpkins this Autumn at Jucker Farm. There are literally thousands of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes that are on display and available in the market to purchase, carve and consume thanks to all the delicious recipes crafted right there in the Farm Restaurant. For all you shark-loving fans, this friendly Great White is actually located at the Bächlihof location in Jona.

The Pumpkin Calendar

Events are not taking place as usual this year, thanks Corona for spoiling the fun. However, that won’t stop the team at Jucker Farm from pursuing the events as best as possible so you can enjoy the sights in your own free time:

Sun, 4 Oct, 2020: Swiss championship in pumpkin weighing – the weighing takes place without an audience. The giant pumpkins are displayed on the farms after they have been weighed.
Sat, 17 Oct, 2020: Pumpkin Carving Festival – This event will not take place this year.
Sat, 31 Oct, 2020: Pumpkin battles “Halloween Special” – In autumn it will be decided whether this event will take place or not. Keep an eye on their calendar.

Wear Your Mask

Deep sea divers and humans living in 2020 alike, please wear your mask while at this year’s Pumpkin Festival. To quote Nadine from JuckerFarm:

“Please note that pumpkins are healthy, but they do not help against Corona. Therefore, various protective measures apply on the farms. Thank you for sticking to the guidelines so that we can all enjoy the pumpkin season.” -Nadine, Jucker Farm AG
