The farm's been in business since 1880, but the GMC slat-side is vintage 1960's. Just look at the cool logo: hand lettering, iconic windmill harking back to late nineteenth century, all set off against richly fading deep green. This classic is the real deal.

The honor system is in effect at Alfalfadale: pick out your own pumpkin, deposit a 5-dollar bill in the cash box, read the helpful instructions for carving your purchase, and have a happy, scary Halloween! |

How so many different varieties of fall-season gourd-kins can grow at any one farm, is beyond us. When Nancy and I dropped by yesterday to check out the display there seemed to more "product" than we could remember seeing in Falls past. We bought a pumpkin, of course, and dutifully dropped our five-spot in the bright orange cash box provided for that purpose. |
Just had to show another shot of the truck door. Not exactly the dark green of the foto, but the type is the only green in my palette.
Now you can see the cash box. Very cool and contemporary looking, though the vintage must be ca. 1970.
