In the 1930s through the 1960s, Libby’s partnered with farmers to breed pumpkins with just the right flavor and texture using our proprietary seed.

THE SEED THAT SUCCEEDS
What makes our pumpkins so special?
Planting
We plant our proprietary seeds every May in Morton, Illinois, giving farmers optimal soil and weather conditions at the start of the season.
Harvesting
Roughly 120 days later, we have fields upon fields of plump, ripe pumpkins that are ready to harvest and send along to our nearby facility.
Canning
These pumpkins are too perfect for preservatives—so we don’t add any. We simply wash, chop, steam and press them into the LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin you know and love.
