Öland's Harvest Festival, Albrunna pumpkins
18 June 2021
Tips & Inspiration

The pumpkin round

Now the air is fresh, the peace and quiet begins to spread over the island. The golden season is upon us. It does not happen on any date but follows nature and its shifts. When the farmers have brought home the third harvest, when the calves are no longer young but have grown to their size after a long summer of grazing on lush grass, when the cornfields are no longer undulating with sunny yellow rape but golden ears of barley, rye or oats; then we have the golden season. In September, the pumpkins, which were planted in May, are harvested. Take a tour around the island. Here you will find decorative and edible pumpkins in all possible shapes, colors and sizes.

And you, don't forget that the range is larger than what we suggest. You can find more places that sell cougars here - on Öland's Harvest Festival website.
