Fresh from Parker, Colorado

The 2026 harvest is here.

One-of-a-kind gourds with personality, spirit, and a suspicious amount of charm—hand-painted and ready to find good homes this October.

Every Gourdkin is unique. Dried gourds and artificial pumpkins can stay in the family for years.

The family album

Past harvests.

Every autumn brings a new crop of characters. Wander through a decade of familiar faces, strange creatures, and Gourdkins who have already found homes.

A homegrown tradition

Made by family.
Loved like family.

For more than two decades, our family has spent each autumn bringing unique dried gourds and pumpkins to life. We look forward to meeting the new faces—and seeing a few familiar ones—that emerge from every harvest.

Our hope is simple: find good homes for these personalities and make longtime friends who return to add to their Gourdkin family year after year. Keep them, share them, and enjoy them as they travel from our home in Parker, Colorado, to homes around the world.
