Fast-forward through the late ’70s and ’80s, and Scott Schumitsch, the youngest of Lester’s three sons, expanded on the seed business, taking on many more potato farmers’ oats as they moved to three-year rotations.
After mid-dough stage, temperatures down to -4°C can result in damage in the form of bran frost, kernel shrinkage and possibly a reduction in germination. Signs of kernel damage won’t be evident until at least 7 to 10 days after the frost event. With respect to yield, lab experiments have shown that wheat, barley and oats show little yield reduction at the late dough stage when exposed to -8 C for one hour. Remember – grain that has been impacted by frost should be tested for germination and vigor prior to using for seed; the earlier the frost, the greater the impact to seed quality.
Unfortunately, right now, Schumitsch Seed lacks a lot of the expensive equipment to make this happen. However, Jay is excited and ambitious about the future. Through years and reinvestments, one day he believes they’ll reach this goal.
These melt-in-your-mouth squares may be called fudge, but they don’t contain a hint of refined sugar, butter, or milk. Instead, it’s all about the sunflower butter and maple syrup flavors, with chopped walnuts sprinkled on top for a fun texture contrast.

The point at which grain corn is “safe from frost” is defined as physiological maturity and is correlated with the appearance of the thin, black layer of dead tissue at the tips of the kernels. Grain moisture at physiological maturity typically ranges from 30 to 35 per cent, but can vary based on hybrid. If frost is light and the leaves, stalks or husks are not damaged, kernel development will continue. Yield losses from death of leaves only prior to physiological maturity are estimated to be 35, 27, and 6 per cent for soft dough, full dent and half-milk line stages of development, respectively.
In a city that calls itself the World Pumpkin Capital, losing the Mullers’ pumpkins could be a devastating turn of events. Their iconic roadside plot draws wealthy visitors from San Francisco and Silicon Valley for more than a month each autumn.
If you are not a fan of gulping the seeds with the fruit, you can soak them in water overnight, and then dry and shell the cover. In fact, sprouted watermelon seeds are treasure houses of protein too!
Aurora For someone who doesn’t call herself a baker, Crystal Araujo makes extraordinary conchas. These particular “panes dulces,” or sweet breads—with their crunchy, shell-like tops—are ubiquitous at Mexican bakeries, including those across the Denver metro area, but Araujo couldn’t find any she loved near her Aurora home, close to the Southlands mall. “My mother moved to Texas in 2016, and I was missing her and feeling nostalgic for the family get-togethers we used to have,” she says. “For Latino-Americans, when family is together, it’s never really complete without pan dulce and coffee. I wanted to re-create that feeling.” After multiple rounds of recipe tweaks and feedback from her husband, Edmundo, and friends, Araujo established Las Conchas Bakery—and she’s been baking nonstop for a growing customer base ever since. “Conchas can get stale and dry,” Araujo says, “and I wanted mine to be different.” We say mouthwatering mission accomplished, thanks to her conchas’ soft, fluffy bread base, which she tops with vivid flavors and hues, from pistachio to strawberry to Mexican chocolate.How To Buy: Find out which concha flavors are available via Araujo’s Instagram account (@lasconchasbakeryco), and place your order, starting at $10 per half-dozen, via email (lasconchasbakery@gmail.com). Araujo offers free delivery within five miles of the Southlands mall, or you can contact her for pickup information.
The Mullers grow 60 varieties of pumpkins, gourds and squash, including Cinderellas, Fairytales and Tonda Padanas. They plant 80,000 seeds each spring, and each seed can produce up to four pumpkins. Harvest takes one month, and then the pumpkins are sold at a plot called Farmer John’s Pumpkins on the Pacific Coast Highway, where visitors can see the ocean peeking across a crest of trees.
