A working gourd farm with grounds to walk, a shop and thousands of gourds in bins that older kids can pick through for a craft project. Staff get consistent praise for advice. One practical warning from a reviewer: mapping apps send you the wrong way, so follow the farm's own directions instead.
One of the country's largest gourd farms, with sprawling fields and ancient oaks that make a memorable, offbeat outing for curious kids. Wander the grounds, picnic under the trees, and pick out a gourd to paint at home. Call ahead for large groups, and note it's closed Sundays.

I am a crafter and have recently discovered gourd art. OMG! It is awesome! Wood burning, dying, carving, stick and burn paper for creating patterns, pine needle rims…the list goes on. I also discovered Welburn gourd farm through online how to videos and have purchased 99% of my needs through them. Everything comes so well packaged, they have how-to videos, respond to emails and are incredibly pleasant on the phone when you have questions it’s amazing. It’s so nice to speak to a real person and they are really appreciative of your business. Their gourds are pricey but you can get an excellent deal when they have a sale and the gourds are thick skinned and beautiful!. I purchased the carver they recommend with the fillet point burr and it is amazing what you can do! Also purchased the wood burning tool. This company is great. Products arrive in good time. Highly recommend you check them out! Ps…I’ve worked with paint, glass, quilling, basket making, paper craft, textiles, wood and jewelry making… loving my gourd art as I can incorporate most of my other crafts into it. Currently working on incorporating gourd carving and quilling for interesting results! Check out welburn Gourd farm!!

So not that excited this round. I paid more money this time close to $100. For 3 large gourds. I use them as canvases ...& paint them, and carve them. I received 2 large gourds, over 12 inches and one that almost got to 10 inches, with a dent in one side. None of them kept their stem intact during shipping. Every one was broken off. Which is a major concern for me.
