From our fields to your hands
Growing Gourds
Starting from the seeds
All of our gourds are grown with care on our farm. Each seed is planted by hand and maintained all summer. Our field is carefully planted based on a pre-planned map, so we know where each variety is located. Our two-acre field is full of dozens of varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds. Throughout the summer we enjoy watching them grow into their own unique and beautiful shapes!
Over Wintering and Cleaning
Prepared just for you
All of our gourds are left in the field on the vine over Winter, which is known as "Over Wintering". During that time, the gourd shells harden and develop a flakey mold. When Spring arrives, we harvest all the hardened gourds, which are now dry and ready to be cleaned. We sort them into bins based on size and variety, which makes it easier to find what we need for crafting and order fulfillment later. Once harvested, each gourd is soaked and scrubbed by hand to make them clean and ready for all your crafting and decoration needs!
