My Instagram is where I'm most active and you can see everything I post! Only some of it ends up on Facebook! Thanks for looking!

Contact me at [email protected] if you're interested in having me carve at your event! Welcome to The Pumpkin Butcher's page! I'm a local artist that specializes in carving custom pumpkins. My services are available anytime pumpkins are being sold (basically September through Halloween). A typical pumpkin can take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to carve depending on the design. Prices will be negotiated based on the design requested and will include the cost of the pumpkin. Please feel free to contact me here on Facebook, or via email at [email protected] for questions or to discuss the pumpkin or pumpkins you would like made for you! If you like what you see, feel free to comment!
