Welcome
Hi! We are already starting to get orders for our custom Bickmore Farms Pumpkins for 2027! That’s a good problem to have. If you are interested in getting a specialty pumpkin with your name or someone else’s name carved on it please fill out the form below! We ask for a $20 donation as we are nonprofit with all proceeds after expenses going to the town of Bradford, Maine for benefit of the children in the community.
If you live in Maine, we will be distributing in two different locations for pickup – Bangor and Portland. As this is a new project for us, we are starting small. Pumpkins will be distributed usually at the end of September and the beginning of October. Specific dates will be posted on the website.
There is also an opportunity for a pumpkin “sponsorship” – for a $10 donation you can sponsor a pumpkin in someone’s name, and we will send you a picture. Those pumpkins will be donated to a local food pantry.
We also accept checks. Please send to:
Bickmore Farms Board of Directors - Raymond Bickmore
62 Libby Road, Charleston, ME 04422
All checks should be made out to Bickmore Farms.
All donations will go to children’s programs in the town of Bradford.
Bickmore Farms is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
