Pumpkin-picking farm in Northamptonshire sells out in two days
Overstone Grange Farm reopened to the public on Saturday (October 19) after a successful September on the Harris' family farm, which last month saw their fields bloom into a sunflower attraction.
Fifth-generation farmer Tom Harris took the plunge for the first time after moving back to Northamptonshire to start selling sunflowers, alongside his day job as a farmer.

After a roaring trade over the weekend the pair saw 1,000 customers each day turn up to their farm in Moulton, and in 48 hours they sold more than 2,500 pumpkins.
Lucy said: "It was a crazy busy weekend, and we sold out on Sunday.
"We think we had about 1,000 cars visit each day. We need to grow some more next year.
"We had such a great time welcoming everyone and seeing people enjoy the farm. We are really grateful for the amazing support people have shown us."
