Rusty Pumpkin Farms


Sue Roush, along with her husband Kelly Roush, own a small farm 4 miles east of Lebanon, Kansas. With a 1/4-1/2 acre garden and 1 acre pumpkin and gourd patch, Sue keeps busy caring for her wide variety of crops. Sue's customer base has spread mainly by word of mouth and she hopes to continue to expand production in order to keep up with the growing demand. During the summer season, Sue has tomatoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, potatoes, and many other products, such as freshly baked bread, that she sells at the local farmers market in Smith Center, as well as in Down, Kansas and Red Cloud, Nebraska. Sue's main focus has shifted to pumpkins and squash during the fall which she sells to grocers, flower shops, directly from her farm, or at various stands around the area. Sue feels that her produce is considered value added due to the way she produces them. She cares for each of her plants individually in order to insure the best product for her customer. Be sure to look for Sue and her products in the upcoming season!
