details
Meadowbrooke Gourds is a team of farmers, crafters and designers who grow and craft hard shell gourds on our 200 acre farm at the foot of the Blue Mountains outside of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Our designs are crafted from a natural material so each piece is ever so slightly different to make a unique artisan piece. Our crafters spend years training to be a master craftsman to keep the highest quality for our designs.
Our goal is to "craft smiles". Each piece is designed to bring a smile to our customer's faces with whimsical and cheerful designs that have been thoughtfully hand-crafted by a happy team of people.
"The tour of Meadowbrooke Gourds is so interesting. You can see how they grow them, clean them and turn them into works-of-art. I add a new gourd to my collection every season!" - Casey
