PUMPKINS of all shapes and sizes were picked out of the ground this weekend.

It was part of the Oxford Pumpkin festival at Oxford City Farm on Saturday, encouraging people to eat locally produced food – rather than shop at supermarkets.

Pumpkin soup was also on the menu, other tempting treats included fresh apple juice – which could be pressed by guests.
