Luffa Farm Tour & Picnic - California
September 13, 2026 — 11:00 - 1:00pm PT
Last day to register: September 11, 2026
Did you know that "loofahs" come from a plant? Learn more about the growing and processing of luffas during a guided tour of a local luffa farm. The tour takes about 20-30 minutes and includes a walk through of the farming area, visiting luffa plants in all stages of the growing cycle. Participants will have the ability to purchase luffas and other bath products at the farm store.
After the tour, join us at a nearby park for an optional picnic lunch.
We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. This event is intended for the LGBTQ+ community. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated at this event.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
