Pumpkin Keepers

No Missed Seasons

Field Fashion
It's easy to tell who in Brightfield is a farmer by the way they dress. It's almost a staple in farmer fashion to wear a cozy neckerchief or scarf around the neck, or a stylish grasswoven hat... or both! Farmer hats are often adorned with flowers and sprouts tucked between the weaves of grass, or in ribbons wrapped around the hat band.
Splotches of grass and dirt stains are all but a guarantee on any farmer's clothing, no matter how clean they try to keep themselves. Brightfield farmers tend to enjoy tending to their farms by hand where possible, as opposed to using all of the fanciest tools on the market, and that dedication shows itself in their less-than-pristine appearance.
