About this Event
Join Us for the last Loofah Harvest of 2026 and Seed Saving Party!
We are taking some time to harvest our loofahs and we want you to join in. This happens only twice a year and this is our last harvest date!!!
Ready to get your hands dirty and have some fun? Come hang out with us in person for a day of loofah harvesting and seed saving goodness!
First to buy a ticket is first to harvest the biggest fattest loofah on the vines.
Yes folks these loofahs were grown on site, so very low carbon foot print, and they will all be used locally.
You get to harvest, and learn to process the loofah. Which mean you will have seeds to plant when March 2027 comes around.
