You can get rid of your old pumpkins at this destination farm brewery—by feeding them to pigs

Now that Halloween has come and gone, chances are you have a collection of old pumpkins on hand. If you’re like the rest of us and plan on putting off dealing with them until sometime in 2022, we might have just the thing for you.

Wooly Pig Farm Brewery, a lauded brewery and taproom in Coshocton County that operates on a functioning farm, is offering a free disposal service that you can make a day trip out: Their pigs will eat your pumpkins.

“It’s that time of year again,” the brewery announced on social media on Monday. “Bring your pumpkin down to the Wooly Pig Farm Brewery and throw them to the pigs.”

Typically, the farm’s namesake curly haired mangalitsa pigs forage for walnuts and other other foodstuff across the farm, but they’ll happily accept a pumpkin to chow down on as well.

The Brewery hasn’t set specific hours on the pumpkin-dumping, but the farm and taproom are open Wednesday through Friday from 1-9 p.m., Saturday from 12-9 p.m., and Sunday from 12-6 p.m.

Wooly Pig stands on an expansive 90 acres of fields, pastures, and woodlands, where visitors can interact with pigs and other farm animals, or check out any of the 12 different hop varieties grown on massive trellises. You can even grab one of their many celebrated German-inspired lagers. 

You can find out the full tap list here. And you can check more photos of the brewery’s long-haired pigs here, because why not?
