Yay...Pumpkins!

We're about 3 weeks from our opening day and it's amazing to see the progress of the pumpkins. We've had a very unusual year for growing pumpkins, with it being very cold in June, giving them a late start, and enduring a near drought for much of the summer. But, now as the foliage is dying back, you can really see the pumpkins in the patch! I guess it's true what our friend, Marty, said...God really can grow pumpkins without rain!

It's also exciting to see some of our specialty pumpkins coming along! The bright orange one is called a "Cinderella", the light white pumpkin with orange veins is called "One Too Many"- as the veins get darker and more red, the pumpkin will start to look like bloodshot eyes, hence the name :-) The bright white pumpkins are called "Crystal Star".

Don't you just LOVE pumpkins? They're waiting for you to come and take them home!

Getting Closer

It's August 26th today, and we're less than one month from our opening day! We couldn't be more excited for our opening, and we're making good progress towards being ready. Here is a shot of our store now...there's even merchandise inside!




Here we're putting up the wall art in the building and throwing straw bales to create our fort.

















The picture on the left is the path from our barn to the corn maze and the shot on the right is the site for our outdoor firepit and pergola.

Potters Way - The Inspiration

We wanted to give you all an idea of the inspiration behind the name Potters Way and also a reason why we wanted to start this business in the first place. If you haven't had a chance to check out the "About Us" on our website, that helps, too, but this picture shows you why we chose the name we did.

If you can't read this very well, it's a Bible verse from Isaiah 64, "We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." We put this verse on a main wall in our store to remind us of our reason for being here.

Making Progress

Hi again. We're sorry we haven't kept you more informed of our progress on the site for Potters Way. It's been an extremely busy couple of months, but we'll try to bring you up to speed. Here are some recent pictures of the progress we've made on our building.











Just some finishing work, and it will be ready!


The pumpkins themselves are coming along,too! You'll see from the pictures below that the pumpkins haven't started to turn orange yet, but there is one that's almost turned. They should be ready in time for our opening!
