Dylan and Darren Wells turned their pumpkin crop into a thriving business that ships to Japan and Mexico.
The two brothers from Hubbard are only 21 and 19 years old.
After some research their father, Dan, found that there was a market for miniature ornamental pumpkins, and their business, Autumn Harvest, was born. When they first started 15 years ago, their father coached them in the basic principles of running a business.
