We showed up early afternoon for a free tour. The nice lady was very informative about the various stages of luffa plant life. Instructions included how to care for your personal luffa. Ultimately it becomes the scrubber or sponge for the consumer. The greenhouses were filled with abundant growth. So beautiful, wish I could have stayed inside a bit longer. However it's hotter inside the greenhouse than is was outside. We visited in August. I was intrigued to learn that most luffa sponges are imported. They tend to have mold issues and stiffness problems because of chemicals and synthetic materials. They grow all of their luffa's here naturally. Free of any pesticides or synthetic materials. Because of this, they will last many years, stay mold free, softer texture and keep you clean! After the greenhouse tour it was fun to walk the gardens. Check out the tree's, bottle garden and the welcome cow's of course. They have a small gift shop filled with everything luffa. Including soaps, lotions and aromatherapy sets. Hours; Wednesday thru Sunday; 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday and Tuesday; Closed

When I arrived there was someone waiting for me and my son who asked if I wanted a free tour. She showed me the different luffa's and where they grow. Fun fact, it's the only place in the country you can see where luffa plants grow. Their stand offers different affordable luffa's which apparently last a year, maybe more! You can use them for cleaning or for the shower. There is also someone who makes and sells soaps.

First time visit and definitely going back ! The host was so sweet and knowledgeable. They have a variety of herbs on their garden. I asked if I can buy a little stem of the sweet mint and she literally gave me a root to grow my own :) and extra to make tea for FREE she was so friendly and giving. We bought a couple luffas and their home made soaps, they have all natural things such a cute and cool experience. If you're driving by nipomo this is a must ! Thank you hostess for being so sweet wishing this business more success and growth

This is a cute little unique farm. They are pet friendly. I made a quick stop here while I was in the neighborhood. It is free. They also offer tour of the farm which lasts for 10-15minutes. The tour guy was friendly and informative. There's a gift shop where they sell their products - particularly luffas but also other items like soaps, bath rocks, lotions and such. They also sell these online. There's plenty of lavender and other herbs growing in the farm and a couple of picnic tables. Do stop by here if you are in the neighborhood and support the local farm and small business.

OH man. What a random treat! Never would I have dreamed that this existed. I had no idea luffa was even a plant until I discovered this place. I randomly came to Santa Maria for two days, and the hotel gave me a small guide to the area. It recommended this place and I became intrigued immediately! First off, I love a good farm visit. The visit is free. It is in the middle of nowhere as is the whole area lol. As you turn into the farm and follow a windy road to parking, it is very colorful and quirky. There are a bunch of little signs and figurines. We were the only ones there when we visited. It was a Saturday around 11 or so. When we got off the car, a guy was waiting for us and asked if we wanted a little tour/information about luffas. We said yes! This guy took us into the greenhouse and told us allll about luffas, showed us the plants growing, and answered our questions. It only took 15 minutes or so to get informed. The guy was really nice, didn't catch his name. Then we checked out the gift shop! I bought a few face luffas for me and some family as gifts. It's a small farm, I saw two greenhouses of luffa plants. I also saw right next to us, cute goats and a kid and some dogs. Overall, it was an unexpected topic to learn about and I hope tho spread a little knowledge by sharing that this place exists! Check it out and learn about luffas!! Also - free citrus! Git it!

Took some friends that had never been to the luffa farm and they enjoyed the little tour and how informative it was. I love this place. They were so good and kind to my little one, definitely a kid friendly environment. I stand by my initial review 4 years ago! Stop by!

Never knew there are farms just for Loofas! I was just scrolling through the app seeing what's out there for my visit in pismo and I came across this gem! Of course I had to stop by and get some and some for my mom. Growing up, my mom always said she preferred natural Loofas over the synthetic ones but natural loofas are slightly pricey and coated with chemicals if purchased online. The lady who rang me up was very sweet and kind.

Cute place to stop off on highway 101 adventures! Little Luffa farm with beautiful sights and a lovely free tour of the area. We got to learn about their uses and various life stages along with enjoying a gift shop. Friendly welcoming environment with easy parking. Loved the experience! Great place to stop by and experience something unique.

What am amazing offbeat attraction. Who knew loofah came from a vegetable and not the sea?! NOT THIS YELPER! So while heading up the coast during the tail end of the covid19 pandameic, we came across this place. We drove in and noticed they weren't open yet, but happened across whom I'm presuming may have been the owners. We didn't realize they were closed until after we parked but the employees were kind enough to give us a little run down and inevitably giving a wonderful tour of their garden and loofah farm. What an eclectic, cool, free spirited place. They had masks on and hand sanitizer.. And we kept our physical distance the whole time. She opened up her small store for us to peek in. We weren't allowed to go in but were able to see and hear about the various products from just outside the door. We left with a few loofahs, hand sanitizer. What a great offbeat attraction. A must see.

All Hail The Luffa... The Luffa Farm in Nipomo is like one of those neighborhood gems you drive by and always say "we're going to visit that place soon". For us, "soon" turned out to be 20 months after we moved from San Jose to Nipomo. When you hear the word luffa, what comes to mind? Soft, fluffy gourds or a hard-as-brick sponge you got as a gift years ago? Any luffa sponge you find in stores goes through procedures which destroy the natural texture of the sponge (for importation since most come from outside the US). The Luffa Farm grows Heirloom Luffas without any harsh treatments so you get a soft, washable, non-abrasive plant-based sponge. The entrance to the Farm is along Willow Road about 1/2 mile east of Via Concha. Past the sign, you'd never know what lies a few blocks up the hill from Willow. Our group of 5 joined a 20 minute tour in progress and visited two of their 3 greenhouses...along with a fruit orchard...and learned some interesting information about these very useful sponges. The grounds are surprisingly large and colorful with a small, but packed to the brim gift shop of reasonably priced luffa and bathroom/toiletry items. Our guide, whose name I forgot, was a young guy in charge of social media (possibly among other things). He, and everyone else we met during our one hour stay, could not have been more friendly. There are two large "55 and over" communities within a mile of the Luffa Farm...Trilogy and Black Lake. From my informal survey in Trilogy, I bet a majority of the residents have never taken the time to make the short drive. It's well worth the visit.
