The company charges up to $2,000 to arrange pumpkins on porches, which is more than the average cost of a pumpkin patch experience. It’s a service for people who want the aesthetic without the labor—or the hay fever.
Now that the same people who once rolled their eyes at Halloween decor are paying six figures for it, the real question is: who’s actually doing the work, and why aren’t they getting a cut of the pumpkin pie?
It’s not just pumpkins anymore—soon, it’ll be a full-time job to keep up with the seasonal status symbols.
