  🌽 Farm-to-table restaurant owner and harvest festival organizer Harvest "Harry" Moon is preparing the town's annual Fall Harvest Festival when the festival's wealthy patron—a ruthless land developer—is found dead in the prize-winning pumpkin display, a cornucopia of autumn produce suspiciously arranged around the body. The police suspect a accidental collapse, but Harry notices the produce has been deliberately contaminated and the victim's land acquisition papers contain coded messages about farm foreclosures. With the harvest festival in jeopardy and the farming community in turmoil, Harry must reap the truth from this field of deception. Assisted by her restaurant staff and the handsome agricultural inspector analyzing the tainted produce, Harry uncovers a scheme involving crop sabotage, water rights theft, and a plot to force local farms into bankruptcy. From suspicious pesticide residues that reveal deliberate contamination to soil samples that don't match the farm's organic certification, every vegetable tells a story. But when Harry discovers the victim was systematically poisoning crops to devalue farmland for development, she realizes the killer is protecting family farms more precious than any real estate deal. With the harvest moon celebration approaching and the real saboteur still sowing chaos, Harry must gather the evidence before her own farm-to-table dream gets permanently plowed under.
