October 8, 2011 - Gatherers


At Carleton Farms, a honeybee and a family take advantage of a nice fall day to do some gathering.  The family, with a wheelbarrow are picking out just the right pumpkins.  The bee, isn't as picky and is just moving on to the next sunflower.

The 60 acre family farm near the Ebey Slough east of Everett, Washington has been in the Carleton family for over 40 years.  Each fall thousands come to enjoy their corn maze, pick out a pumpkin, go through a haunted corn maze, take hay rides, gather some fresh flowers, enjoy the farm animals and buy all manner of gourmet sauces, canned and jarred products with the Carleton Farms label at their store.  Oh, and they have a pair of air cannons that launch 10 pound pumpkins hundreds of yards!
