Maintenance Technician

Bay Baby Produce is a Family-Owned Farm and proud innovator in the Skagit Valley agricultural community. We produce the finest quality value added pumpkins, organic pumpkins, and squash provided through outstanding employees, customer relations, and service.

Starting with our signature Pumpkin Patch Pals®, a lively group of hand decorated mini pumpkins known for their spunky personalities and festive looks, we have expanded to include various Home Décor items using our home-grown mini, pie and decorative pumpkins. Our various experiments in designing new products ultimately led us to the exciting development of Fruit Deco®; our own unique, hand decorated and 100% Edible fruit products. From that first small patch of dirt, we have now grown to 700 acres and grow several varieties of Certified Organic hard winter squash in addition to our decorative and edible pie pumpkin varieties.
