6 Places to Get a Pumpkin in Metro Detroit

I’m sure many of you have heard of the trend of being basic–especially during the fall months.  Things like drinking pumpkin spice lattes, taking selfies in an apple orchard, and wearing boots and flannel are all considered ‘basic.’  While sites such as BuzzFeed might poke at these things, the truth is that a lot of them are basic for a reason–because they are fun!

This year, many of us are finding even more reason to spend time outside, thanks to CDC Covid-19 guidelines.  At FLAME, we are doing all we can to make sure that our customers stay safe and healthy. Picking pumpkins, while ‘basic,’ is one great fall activity that can get us outside, allow us to maintain social distance, and give us some sense of normalcy this fall.  Here is where we are looking for pumpkins, gourds, and all things fall this year!
