Welburn Gourd Farm - Fallbrook, California

Welburn Gourd farm is such a fun outing!! We went as a family and the grounds are just beautiful. We met the new owners and they’ve done such a fantastic job of rebranding and livening up the place. It’s just stunning!!! We stayed in one of the cottages for a weekend as well and couldn’t get over the decor and how big it actually was on the inside. So excited to see their new garden come spring and walk the grounds with my kiddos. The shop is a must stop as well. I just love the variety they carry and can’t wait to grab a gourd with the kiddos and some paint supplies.

Welburn Gourd Farm is an incredible place to spend the day! The scenic drive to the farm is absolutely beautiful, and once you arrive, you’re surrounded by an incredible selection of gourds. The staff is warm, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable, answering all our questions and offering great insight. It’s easy to get carried away and buy more than planned - but with so many creative ideas, we’re excited to put them to good use. Such a wonderful experience! Welburn Gourd Farm is truly one-of-a-kind and we’ll absolutely be back!

Welburn Farm has turned into my annual gourd trip. I was here a year ago and I went up last weekend to get gourds for an annual Christmas faire. It's a 2 1/2 hour trip for me but well worth it! I bought about 100 gourds to make Christmas ornaments and decor. Thousands to choose from, I chose the uncleaned ones, I like to clean them myself. There were no issues with ANY of the gourds. The staff was wonderful and very helpful with cleaning ideas, different stains to use, etc. I give Welburn Farms 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone that is a beginner to an expert. One more thing, the prices are excellent! My total was way below what I thought it would be. Have fun!

This place is wonderful!! I drove up from San Ysidro because it was the only gourd place I could find. TIP: Do NOT follow Google maps. Follow the directions on their website. Funny story about that!
They had thousands of gourds, all shapes and sizes in bins. Some were cleaned, the majority were not. I prefer the uncleaned because after you clean them it's a surprise to see the result.
The staff was so nice and helpful and prices were great. I had to go back 2 weeks later because I needed their Proxxon jig saw for cutting. I couldn't figure out how to assemble it when I got home, so I called them and they helped me over the phone.
I bought about 50 gourds and I can't wait until I finish them, so I can go back. Highly recommend if you're in the market for gourds.

We drove up 2½hours to gather some gourd for our Tribal Harvest Gathering this weekend. The youth are going to make mini rattles (I will add some photos when we are done). This event was sponsored by Torres Martinez Youth Council and Jacob Ward Instructor. Great place lots of gourd and the staff was very helpful. We will be back

For the master gourd artist to those new to the art medium Welburn has the best selection of gourds and supplies you can find. The gourds are thick for carving and mostly free of blemishes. The entire staff are professional, helpful and friendly. A must visit if you are in the area or you can depend on their shipping services.

It was a very exciting trip out there to the Welburn Gourd Farm. The kids had a great time it was an adventure for them. Never knew that there were so many different kinds and sizes and so close to me instead of getting it from the islands.

Was looking for a new hobby and came across this place online. We drove down with my daughter and her girls. What a great place. Off the beaten path but well worth the trip. We bought some gourds, paint, cleaning tools and it was not expensive. So we are working on our gourds and have a new hobby. I will definitely be back to purchase more after I finish the ones I am working on.
