By Lisa Lauritsen Cullen Pumpkin Farm in Richfield Springs, 587 Cullen Road, offers old fashioned fun and pump- kins a plenty. Over the vast sprawling farm fields of the historic town it is the largest stippling of bright orange pump- kins our family has ever seen. Tendrils of large arching leaves part this time of year as their 20- acre patch exposes its bright orange pumpkins. Over 30,000 plants in all and the varieties make finding just the right one, or however many you'd like, an afternoon of fun. The Shypski family is in it just for the fun of pump- kins and they've taken their hobby to an un- precedented level you're sure to enjoy. They also offer a variety of gourds and sunflowers; perfect for your fall display. Another uniquely or- ange sign you've reached your destination is their iconic 1940's Ford truck. You may have seen it on Rt. 28 where their sign is displayed atop the trucks bed. Once you’re 28 W.
