A journey we began for the love of pumpkin

We set out in 2013 with the chestnut pumpkin, one of our country's most healing food sources. From heirloom seed to field, and from field to your table, we do every step by hand.

Our Story

From seed to table

2013 · The beginning

We gathered heirloom seeds

With heirloom seeds gathered from all seven regions of Turkey, we began to follow the trail of the chestnut pumpkin, one of our country's most healing food sources.

Balıkesir · Karacalar Village

We turned to natural growing

We began growing these seeds by natural methods in the village of Karacalar in Balıkesir, using goat manure. We offered the chestnut pumpkins we harvested to our customers.

April · October–November

A cycle repeated every year

We took the seeds of the pumpkins whose flavour delighted people and propagated them. We sow these seeds every April and harvest them in October and November.

Our kitchen

A menu of 38 items

From the chestnut pumpkins we harvest we have created desserts, soup, börek, jam, cake and more — reaching a menu of exactly 38 items.

On this road we set out on for the love of pumpkin, we received our registration certificate as Uzm Kabakçı in September 2025.

What We Care About

Our growing principles

Heirloom seed

We propagate the heirloom seeds we gathered from seven regions in our own field every year, and buy no seed from outside.

Natural manure

Instead of chemical fertiliser we use goat manure, leaving the soil and the taste of the pumpkin exactly as they are.

Made by hand

From desserts to börek, we prepare every product by hand in our own kitchen, without additives.

"As the Uzm family, we hope to bring new flavours to all our customers who love pumpkin."
