Meadowbrook Gourds

Nestled in the middle of a beautiful 200-acre farm at the foot of the Blue Mountains, Meadowbrooke Gourds the largest gourd manufacturer in the country. We'll begin our journey through the Gourd Plant in the cozy retail store. There, we'll see a nice display of the types of products that are made here. Before we even enter the building, be sure to see the fields behind the parking lot where they grow the gourds - that is where their work really starts! Our tour guide will lead us through their Gourd Plant, where we'll be able to meet the great staff of crafters during each step of the process. The crafters are very talented and have many years of experience – feel free to ask them questions about what they do!
