Ridgewood NJ, a pumpkin shortage across the country, is haunting Americans just weeks before Halloween . Farms are reporting high demand and low supply. The main reason for the shortage being weather extremes impacting how many pumpkins are grown. Another reason being COVID-19 related shipping delays, making it harder to distribute pumpkins.
