Looking for a fun and unique place to take your group? Visit Meadowbrooke Gourds for an interesting tour and a fun gourd project!
Please complete the online form to schedule a group tour and choose the project your group will complete on the tour. We will contact you to confirm the date and time. All group tours must be scheduled in advance.
Whether you attend a regularly scheduled public tour or a private group tour, you will meet us to begin your journey through our Gourd Plant in our cozy retail store. There you will see a nice display of the types of products we make right here. However, before you even enter our building, be sure to see our fields behind the parking lot where we grow our gourds – that is where our work really starts!
Please note that our regularly scheduled tours that are open to the public. are currently unavailable due to Covid-19.
As your tour guide leads you through our Gourd Plant, you will be able to meet our great staff of crafters during each step of the process. Our crafters are very talented and have many years of experience – feel free to ask them questions about what they do!
All projects are “make and take” crafts except the birdhouses. We ask that they stay here to be coated in outdoor poly. This process takes a few days to cure, so the houses will be ready to be picked up about a week later. The entire group makes the same project. Groups that opt to make a gourd project must let us know at least 2 weeks prior to the date.
We offer Gourd Plant tours every Tuesday at 2 pm. This is ideal for couples, singles and small families. No reservations are needed. Tour starts promptly at 2 pm in the Retail Store. A minimum of 15 people is required to book a private tour. For 15-20 people, the tour is Free. For 21 or more people, the tour fee is $75 with the exception of field trips for children. If scheduling a tour within the week, please contact us by phone at 717-776-6029. Use the following form only if you are scheduling a tour more than a week in advance.
