Our Pumpkin Patch
Many people in the Algona and Kossuth County area enjoyed a fall tradition of going to Scuffham's Gardens to pick pumpkins. John and Helen Scuffham have retired their pumpkin patch, and encouraged us to open our own. We are thankful for the help and guidance they have provided to us over the past several years as mentors, neighbors and friends.
