Now that Halloween’s over, you might be done with your pumpkins, but you know who would love to sink their teeth into them? Goats and pigs! And pumpkins are also fantastic for composting. If you compost your food scraps, you know how valuable an old pumpkin is!
If you don’t compost, there are still some constructive ways to get rid of your pumpkins.
Some Charlotte area farms would welcome pumpkin donations for their animals to enjoy. Make sure that the pumpkins are not painted.
Check back soon for the list!
(And guess what–we’ll put this same call out for old Christmas trees in a couple months!)
Town of Davidson Pumpkin Smash & Shoot
The Town of Davidson is hosting their 4th Annual Pumpkin Smash & Shoot at Fisher Farm Archery Range, 21215 Shearer Road, Davidson, North Carolina, on Sunday, November 8, 2026, from 1 to 3 p.m.
Bring your pumpkin, and destroy it with an arrow (or smash it.) Pumpkins will also be launched! The pumpkin remains will be composted. Pumpkins will be available if you don’t have one to bring.
Double-Check Before You Head Out!
