Yea, pumpkin is getting harder to find. I can still find it at some Whole Foods, but I do notice the scarcity. I like the Farmer's Market canned pureed butternut squash, though: http://www.amazon.com/Farmers-Market-Foods-Butternut-15-Ounce/dp/B000HDCSTG

Well, there are definitely a lot less pumpkins around in my store now than it was in October but there are still some available and I do think they always have more in the back of the store.
