If you sponsor a new child in Rwanda and take your Welcome Packet or receipt to the market at The Pumpkin Patch, you’ll receive a $25 gift certificate for farm fresh produce!  To view the promotion, click here.

In February, the Eggers family, owners of The Pumpkin Patch, traveled to Rwanda to help with farming projects in Kayonza and Kageyo.  They wanted to do more to raise awareness and sponsorship in Rwanda.  Please stop by the market this summer or fall to show your support!

The Pumpkin Patch is also selling Rwandan baskets made by a women’s cooperative in Kageyo.  All proceeds will go directly back to these women and help raise them out of poverty.
