'Distressed Finish' Gourds are Back in Stock!*
This is a seasonal item, and supplies are extremely limited. Order today!
Box of 8 Gourds for $89.95!
Distressed Finish' gourds are beautiful, thick-shelled gourds of superior quality and shape. These gourds are recently harvested and not washed on the outside. The "newer" the skin on the gourd, the more variations you can get because the skin has not broken down all the way.
We love Eric VanDyke's awesome gourd creations and the way he preserved the natural markings of his gourds! Thank you, Eric, for sharing your artwork with us on Facebook!
To get this look, lightly sand your gourd with 320-grit sand paper to knock off any loose dirt or skin, then spray with a high-gloss varnish. A wipe on varnish is not recommended for this as it will remove some of the dried gourd skin. (Always wear a face mask when cleaning or sanding gourds.)

Letters from Our Customers
"Dear Welburn Gourd Farmers, I'm excited to receive the Formula 49, ink dyes, and jewelry gourds and look forward to getting started with them.
I've grown and decorated gourds over the years, and learned a lot from watching your videos. These products and videos will help step up my game.
Visiting your farm is on my To Do List. I have a strong yearning to set in a field and commune with the gourds. I imagine this would be a very spiritual and healing experience. When I first moved to Oregon an elderly neighbor gave me the gift of a moldy gourd, and told me it was up to me to find it's treasures. That was the beginning. Thanks for all your help and especially for farming gourds." -Saundra
***************************
"The formula 49 was a great investment. I can’t believe what a difference it made when using the… Ink. I will be buying this product again😉" - W.J.Napioer
"Love the Formula 49... the fact that it will almost completely remove ink dye is a reason alone to call it a great product, not to mention how well it works to blend the inks. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle!" -Gloria Crane, Gourd Artist and Instructor
Today we remember those military men and women who have died in service to our country.
Phoebe Welburn with amazing patriot-themed gourd by Patricia Barajas!
“The patriot came out in me on this one. And it‘s just my way of thanking all those who have served in our nation’s military… thank you all!” - Patricia Barajas
Patricia won both First Place and the People’s Choice award from the Arizona Gourd Society for this incredible gourd.
We are honored to have this stunning gourd currently on display in the Welburn Gourd Farm store. Please stop by if you are in the area. You really do need to see this gourd in person to appreciate the deep carving and all the details. Thank you, Patricia, for giving us the opportunity to display this amazing piece!
A Beautiful Way to Honor Those We Have Lost
In year’s past we have held sales events on Memorial Day and donated proceeds to various charities focused on helping or honoring military service people and their families.
While it was nice to sponsor worthy causes through the sale of gourd products, we decided to do something different this year that would put the focus more directly on the significance of this special day.
In looking for ways to truly honor our fallen soldiers, we found a wonderful organization called “The Memorial Day Flowers Foundation.”
The Foundation gives volunteers the chance to hand out flowers for placement at veteran gravesites at Arlington National Cemetery and cemeteries across the county.
We were very proud to make a donation to this worthy cause today. If you would like to do the same, please visit the Memorial Day Flowers web site here.*
*Please note: When we made a donation we found the page would not work in Brave browser, but we were able to donate using Safari browser. If you have trouble with the donation form, try using a different browser.
Thank you for taking time to read our Memorial Day tribute newsletter.
