DRAPER — Rasmussen Farms has been selling their most humble pumpkins from a little house in Draper for more than 30 years. Now, it has become a family tradition for many to buy their pumpkins from Rasmussen Farm.
Nearly 11 years ago, National Geographic did a piece on Jeff Rasmussen and his father who grew and sold the pumpkins.
KSL went to check out the generations who come to Rasmussen Farms during October to pick out their perfect pumpkin. For many, the farm has become a staple for the community.
"We have pictures since (my daughter) was really tiny in the big pumpkin patch," said pumpkin patch regular Karen Sampson.
It's just a good experience and we always have a good time. It's better than just the stores.

"It's fun more than anything," added Scott Goold, an employee of Rasmussen Farms. "It's become a traditional spot for people to come take pictures — their yearly or annual picture."
For many regular visitors, the farm is all about the experience.
"It's just a good experience and we always have a good time," Elizabeth Sampson said. "It's better than just the stores."
