We are members of the American Gourd Society, the Florida Gourd Society, and the National Wood Carvers Association. We have been Levy County residents for 30 years, in the same location. Before becoming a gourd grower, Barbara's interests were in painting, woodburning, chip carving, and embellishing gourds with a variety of products and methods, which led her to taking art classes at CFCC in Ocala, FL. After three semesters of art, she discovered the excellent Equine Studies Program at CFCC, and became a full-time "late-in-life" college student; having just completed a third equine degree. Having a love of horses since a child, this has been a wonderful experience, in the heart of horse country. Barbara and her husband, Perry, have been married for over 33 years, and have two daughters. Our first grandaughter was born in Oct. 08. How sweet it is, being a grandparent! As you can imagine, life is very busy here, but the farm is always open, at your convenience! Just call me at 352 493-1534, or stop by. We also enjoy riding motorcycles and are members of the Christian Motorcycle Association. When it comes to fishing, it's hard to get Barbara to "reel it in" at the end of the day! Although there is "no time" these days for that kind of fun. And, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who loves her 1988 V W Vanagon more than she does, even if it is in the repair shop from time to time! If you are planning to visit our area I have added links to places of interest. Cedar Key Crystal River Ocala: Horse Capitol of the World Manatee Springs State Park SuGaBuG Kids, LLC Crystal River |
