Seed-to-Bowl Gourds, Ladles, and Birdhouses (farm grown & crafted from beginning to end)

 

Seed-to-Bowl Gourds

(Bowls · Ladles · Birdhouses — Individually Numbered · Hand-Grown · Hand-Crafted)

 

✨ What it is

A collection of handcrafted heirloom gourds grown from seed here on our Missouri farmstead — shaped by nature, refined by hand, and finished with care.

Each piece begins as a tiny seed in our garden, grows through the season, dries for months, and is then transformed into a bowl, ladle, or birdhouse through careful hand-cleaning, sanding, shaping, and beeswax finishing.

Every gourd in this collection is listed individually with its own number, size, measurements, and photos so you can choose the exact one you love.
