DMM's Dutch Milpa Pumpkin seeds

Introducing the Dutch Milpa Pumpkin: A Perfect Companion for Your Garden

We are delighted to offer you our very own Dutch Milpa Pumpkin seeds, carefully bred and nurtured for years. These remarkable pumpkins have been specifically developed to thrive in a Dutch climate while embracing the traditional Aztec "Milpa" farming technique.

The Dutch Milpa Pumpkin is a variety that showcases its versatility and sustainability. These pumpkins are known for their impressive size, reaching up to 7KG under ideal conditions. With their vibrant color and beautiful skin, they are visually appealing and make a stunning addition to any garden or harvest display. Selection for shelf life resulted in a thick skin which makes the pumkins last all year, with proper storage & ripening on the vine.

What makes pumpkins truly unique is its role as a companion plant. In the ancient Aztec Milpa farming system on their Chinampas, the "Three Sisters" are cultivated together: Corn, Beans, and Pumpkin. The corn provides support for the beans to climb, while the beans fix nitrogen in the soil, benefiting the corn. The pumpkin acts as a ground cover, retaining moisture and suppressing weeds, creating a harmonious and sustainable ecosystem.

To enhance the flavor profile, we have crossed the Dutch Milpa Pumpkin with a Moroccan Curly sweet pumpkin which we obtained through a trade with a friend from Morroco. This infusion adds a delightful sweetness to the Dutch Milpa Pumpkin, making it a treat for both culinary enthusiasts and pumpkin lovers alike.

By choosing our Dutch Milpa Pumpkin seeds, you not only support local and sustainable agriculture but also contribute to the preservation of traditional farming practices. So, whether you're a gardening enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty and taste of homegrown pumpkins, our Dutch Milpa Pumpkin seeds are the perfect choice for you.
