A Greater Manchester family farm has lost its pumpkin crop for the first time in 30 years because of bad weather.

The fields at Boundary Farm, Dunham Massey are usually full of pumpkins but the crop failed in June, shortly after the seeds were sown.

The farm normally produces over 150,000 pumpkins each year, but this year there are just 600.

Jonathan Hewitt of Boundary Farm, Dunham Massey said the family was “heartbroken” and invited people to come and pick apples instead ahead of Halloween.
