WCF Dipper Gourd Seeds (8-10 per pack)

Heirloom • Tribal Stewardship • Cherokee & Meskwaki Lineage

✨ What it is

A packet of heirloom Dipper Gourd seeds grown, saved, and stewarded through generations — seeds entrusted to our family through the Cherokee Nation Seed Bank and the Meskwaki Nation. These gourds are more than plants; they are a continuation of tradition, story, and agricultural heritage passed down through Indigenous lineage and preserved with care.

Each packet contains seeds saved from our own hand-grown, vine-dried dipper gourds — grown on trellises right here on our Missouri farmstead with deep respect for the cultures that carried these seeds long before us.
