As a post-apocalyptic wasteland teeming with hostile flora and fauna, you need every advantage to survive the harsh wilderness in Appalachia. One such advantage is the ability to plant and cook various foods to gain buffs. With that in mind, here is where to find gourd locations in Fallout 76!
Where to Find Gourds in Fallout 76
You can find gourds in Fallout 76 in several key locations throughout the wasteland, as they typically grow in soil throughout the game world, but a few notable spots include:
- Behind a broken trailer northeast of The General’s Steakhouse.
- Five in gourd planters at Raleigh Clay’s Bunker.
- In a house northeast of The Whitespring Golf Club.
- On a table at Bloody Frank’s in Berkeley Springs.
- Inside the greenhouses at Lewis & Sons Farming Supply.
Personally, I’m usually grinding mobs around The Cranberry Bog, so I’ll occasionally stop by The General’s Steakhouse to scoop up a few gourds. I can then bring them back to my C.A.M.P. to plant and grow them, where I will later turn them into various recipes, such as Gourd Soup or Swamp Tofu.

What Are Gourds Used For in Fallout 76?
You can use gourds for various purposes, including cooking and as a quick boost to your health and food.
| Food | Radiation | Disease Chance | Weight | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5% | +5 | 2% | 2 | 6 |
Once you do have a steady supply of gourds, which I do recommend planting at your C.A.M.P. for later use, you can cook the following recipes:
- Cranberry Relish
- Gourd Soup
- Seed Feed
- Swamp Tofu Soup
Furthermore, various perks in Fallout 76 affect gourd consumption. These include:
- Green Thumb
- Good With Salt
- Iron Stomach
- Lead Belly
- Slow Metabolizer
