I’m somewhat ambivalent about the Halloween of it all, and I generally speaking, do not carve my pumpkins, but I love pumpkins! And I do not need a service to place my pumpkins. I can go pick my own pumpkins out myself. (And yes I also buy them from BloomBox!)
So today we went this afternoon we went to Sugartown Strawberries after the rush rush of other things for the day was over.
I love Sugartown Strawberries. It makes me happy to go there. And I have a lot of happy memories taking our son there when he was little.
When we went today, it was packed to the gills. I am not showing the crowds in the photos I’m posting because I like to take pictures of the pumpkins and the farm. Oh and I saw a bald eagle too!
Saw Bob and also picked out my perfect mellow yellow pumpkins 🎃, and that’s actually their name!
Kristina, Bob’s wife, told me about their recent visit to Bucks County, and what it was like to meet Kamala Harris. I think it all sounded pretty cool. And with the exception of the great bloviator and his faux hillbilly, I actually enjoy meeting candidates for office when I can. It’s so helpful when you can see them on a more human level.
The Farm was bustling, and all you saw were happy faces of adults and children alike. And although the farm was busy, there were no rushing, people were enjoying themselves. They were going on hayrides, finding the perfect pumpkins, and they were taking in the beautiful Chester County vistas. One of the best things was seeing the faces of the little kids when they saw the rows of pumpkins!
Of course (and sadly), over at Twatwaffles for Trump Chester County Slumber Party HQ the have been in a tizzy over the farm too.
Not surprisingly they are now suddenly anti Sugartown Strawberries. Most of them do have the average bandwidth of a gnat, except what do you have against gnats?
At first glance one wonders why a “Joyful Warrior” would have to post anonymously in their twisted sisterhood?
The comments are literally priceless and here let’s discuss some of them 🤣:
- Why do Republicans donate to Democrats, they must be a mole of some sort.
- How they own many acres in “Elite Chester County” and “buy into the lies and scandal of January 6th” (guess she loves her Toll Brothers plastic house though because that’s SOOO Chester County)
- Because Bob wrote a tongue in cheek horror movie and it was filmed on his farm “these do not seem like the type of people who should provide educational activities for school or who should be doing hayrides for children at their farm.” And then there is a rando comment about Great Valley School District which makes no sense.
- Then another one pipes up that they “heard” they are actors not farmers (i.e. they read it on X 🤣) and a comrade replies that Bob is a liberal farmer 🤣
- Then there is the one who is going to vet all financial records (what and take away from those slumber parties with Lara Lee and Ivana? ) and then some mumbling about Republicans running as Republicans and governing like “Dems” (cue the law and order drama sound)
- And my favorite is the Mensa candidate who has also been verbally vomiting on Josh Maxwell’s page claiming victory because Bob contributed to Senator Andy Dinniman’s campaign – duh AND d’oh most farmers DID regardless of political affiliation because he supported FARMERS – she doesn’t get the nuance of OMG you can legally split your ticket.
- Another one is asking if Bob was paid by the Democrats to do the commercial which is also hysterical.
- More nonsense about the movie “with little readers around” whatever that means – next they will say that the actors were drag queens.
How can they all be so miserable about pumpkins? How can they all be so stupid about things you should’ve learned in basic civics classes or American history classes?
I’m still trying to figure out what’s so wrong about Bob’s movie if you don’t like horror movies, it’s pretty simple you don’t watch it, and one would think that these women and men would be able to keep tabs on what their children are watching in the first place, right? But they don’t and that’s everyone else’s fault.
It’s a big world out there and I’m sure they can find things more to their comfort level. Like maybe they would prefer a pumpkin concierge service?
It was a totally delightful afternoon at Sugartown strawberries, and it’s really nice that we have this farm to go to.
Even NPR was there visiting today.
#BUYMOREPUMPKINS
I was the first reporter – a Main Liner with boots on the ground – to categorically disprove and debunk the “gotcha” claim that Farmer Bob and his wife were Democratic donors and actors paid by the Harris campaign to appear in their commercials – a claim that was falsely reported as far away as Sky News in Australia and retweeted by Trump himself. I am deeply disappointed that some local folks continue to believe utter nonsense and ignore solid reporting. By the way, an Australian reporter linked and quoted my investigation and wrote his own debunking story that resulted in Murdoch’s Sky News publicly retracting its false reporting and scrubbing it from its website. On the other hand, like you, I am thrilled that thousands of pumpkins have been sold at Sugartown Strawberries in a show of support for the Langes who were truly vilified and terrorized on their own farm by people who believed these false claims. I listened to the vile messages on their answering machine, I read the hateful threatening emails myself.
I actually gave them a chronology of it and mentioned you. I told them how I started to notice the crazy weird stuff on X etc and wrote about it on my blog and you were writing about it as first media etc etc.
I knew that you debunked the other Bob and real Bob etc but that is so cool that you were picked up internationally and caused Sky News to publicly retract! That’s so cool!
And RE: the messages and threatening emails – just unacceptable and disgusting. They are local people who simply made a choice – you know a hallmark of being an American. What has happened to them is case in point why this election matters so much. This is also about fundamental rights as an American,
Sugartown Strawberries was packed yesterday- it was so awesome and I love the place anyway.
Ohhhhh …I must digress…
Just saw the wagon of sugar pumpkins.
I’ve seen your delicious creations. Grab a couple “pie” pumpkins, so many things you can make with them.
Butternut, too,
