Dried Gourds
All prices in Canadian dollars
Northern Dipper Farms offers a large variety of both dried hard-shell gourds and the smaller, versatile dried ornamental gourds from our farm in Central Ontario, Canada. We trellis some of our gourds to ensure consistency in shape. During the drying process we turn all gourds on a regular basis to ensure you receive only high-quality gourds. We ship all gourds uncleaned.We strive to grow the best gourds possible. Thick walls are important for carving, burning and painting. This is an example of a Tobacco Box gourd grown at Northern Dipper Farms in 2001.
Pricing: Due to the variables in sizes, we base prices on diameter for basket-type gourds and bottle-type gourds at $1/inch. Long-handled dippers are $0.25/inch based on length; short-handled dippers are $1/inch based on ball size. Please choose your preferred size (S, M, L) when ordering, and we will confirm pricing with you before shipping. (All prices in Canadian dollars.)
