Tony Dighera of Cinagro Farms in Ventura County, California, has spent the last four yearsdeveloping the perfect mold to grow these Frankenstein’s monster faced pumpkins in. This year was his first successful commercial harvest, producing 5,500 molded pumpkins, which he sold to suppliers for $75 apiece. That’s over $400,000 in profit. Next year he plans to devote his entire farm to the pumpkins (including some skull-shaped white pumpkins) and produce between 30,000 – 40,000.
