The Raupp family is trying something new with their family. Jessica and Brian Raupp, along with their children and several volunteers, put together a pumpkin stand North of Brodhead on County E.
The Raupps have a seven-acre spread they are transforming into a pumpkin patch. So far, one acre is filled with pumpkins. Weed control fabric is laid down, weeding is done on a regular basis and water lines also run down the field to help water the seeds.
