Preheat oven to 400 and bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove. Cut tops off pumpkins and scoop out pumpkin seeds. Drizzle pumpkins with olive oil, and a few shakes of salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, until pumpkins soften. In the meantime, cook the farro according to package instructions. Once farro is done, transfer to a bowl, add remaining ingredients, and mix well. Fill each pumpkin with about ½ cup farro mixture.
