The family spent spring break in Sacramento. We took a little trip over to Zittel's gourd farm today to pick out some new gourds. April is the perfect time to visit the farm because the gourds are fresh from the fields. When picking out a good gourd I look for ones that have a bit of personality to them. The curvier the stem the better. I also make sure there are no cracks or soft spots on the shell. For the Fall 2007 I am going to be introducing some new colors: light green, gold and mahogany.
