Hershey Porch Pumpkins

Porch Pumpkins and Engraved Pumpkins in Palmyra, PA

Lebanon County

Palmyra sits between the workshop and Hershey, so it is on the road for us no matter what else is on the truck that week. It is a town of front porches and short setbacks, which is the ideal case for engraved work: the lettering has to be readable from the sidewalk to be worth doing, and in Palmyra it always is.

Delivery to Palmyra is $25, added at checkout. There is no order minimum, and pickup at the workshop in Annville is always free.

What we bring to a Palmyra porch

Two things, and you can have either one or both. An engraved pumpkin is a single pumpkin with your family name, house number, monogram or logo burned into the skin with a laser, not cut through it, so it keeps its shape and holds its lettering for months instead of caving in after a week. A full porch display is the whole arrangement: pumpkins by the dozen, hay bales, corn stalks, dried maize and mums, delivered and built on your steps with an engraved pumpkin as the centerpiece.

We deliver across downtown Palmyra, the streets off West Main, and the newer developments running toward Campbelltown, and we set the display up rather than leaving it in a pile. You do not need to be home.

Palmyra also gets a lot of our house-number work. A name is the obvious thing to burn into a pumpkin, but a house number sitting on the step is the one that people actually stop and comment on, and it keeps working after Halloween because it is still just your address.

Ordering for Palmyra

Order online, pick your week, and check out. Weeks run through September and October and each one holds a limited number of orders, so the early weeks fill first. Your ZIP code is checked on the order page before you pay, so you will see the $25 delivery cost before you commit to anything.

Everything is engraved at the Quittie Hollow workshop in Annville, which is also where pickup happens if you would rather collect it yourself. We run the same schedule for downtown Palmyra, the streets off West Main, and the newer developments running toward Campbelltown, and the price on the page is the price whichever part of town you are in.

Common questions

How long does the engraving last?

Months, not days. The engraving is burned into the surface of the pumpkin instead of being cut through it, so the pumpkin stays whole and holds up for the fall season rather than collapsing the way a gutted jack-o-lantern does after a week or two.

Do you deliver, or can I pick it up?

Either one. We deliver across Hershey, Hummelstown, Annville, and the surrounding corridor, or you can pick your order up at the workshop in Annville. You choose when you order. Pickup is always free; delivery is free, $25, or $50 depending on how far out you are.

What actually happens when you show up?

We ring the doorbell twice. If nobody answers, we text you to let you know we are there and we start the setup. When your porch is finished we send you a note so you know it is done and ready to look at.

What weeks can I get my pumpkin?

Weeks run through September and October. You pick your week when you order, and each week holds a limited number of orders, so the earlier weeks fill first.

How do I get the most out of it?

A pumpkin is a piece of produce, so shade and airflow are what buy you the extra weeks. Keep it out of direct afternoon sun and off hot concrete if you can, and set it somewhere with a little air around it.
