Braham, Minnesota (U.S.A.)
This is where the Downing Farm is located.
It's the Pie Capital of Minnesota!
The Pumpkin Gutter
Amazing pumpkin carvings!
Burnet Dairy Co-op
This is where milk from the farm goes to be made into (award-winning) cheese. You can order on-line for delivery via UPS. We personally recommend the Fancy Jack -- kids love it, too!

With royalty and everything! Since 1903.

Learn about bees and honey. Lots of good kid stuff!
Prairie Tumbleweed Farm
These nuts actually sell real tumbleweeds through the mail!
Paul's Pumpkin Site
Here's a pumpkin site "across the pond" in the U.K. -- where the Downings came from several generations back!

Barn Museum
This site has photos and information on old barns.
Riverview Theater
It may not have anything to do with pumpkins, but we like the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis, just across the river from St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood. Take your kids and show them what going to the movies is supposed to be like. The style's not retro -- it's genuine. The place hasn't changed much in 50 years. Sign up for a weekly e-mail update of what's playing.
