Pumpkin Patches

Why Pumpkin Patches Might Be the Funniest Part of Your Week

Pumpkin patches are Instagram traps disguised as wholesome fall fun. You arrive in flannel, step into the mud, and immediately regret everything. Kids are crying. Adults are crying. A goat escapes the petting zoo and eats someone’s scarf. You try to pick the perfect pumpkin, but they’re either rock hard or covered in mystery slime. The wheelbarrow you’re using has a flat tire and a squirrel in it. A guy in a scarecrow costume sneezes and breaks character. You spend $18 on apple cider that tastes like cinnamon-flavored apologies. Pumpkin patches: muddy, magical, and hilariously gourd-awful in the best way.

Ingrid Gustafsson

Let me introduce myself - I'm Ingrid Gustafsson. My background includes a mix of writting farm satire, academia, and standup comedy. I grew up in a small town near the fjords and have been fortunate to weave my Scandinavian roots into a broader global narrative. My academic and comedic journey has been rewarding and full of learning. At Oxford, I developed a deep appreciation for satire, which I've had the pleasure of sharing with my students through a teaching style that I've continually evolved.
