Sunflower U-Pick

Mid-summer until end of September


Sunsets on the Farm can be gorgeous and provide beautiful lighting, as does the golden lighting of earlier morning. Sunflower U-Pick field is a beautiful location for bridal parties, family get-togethers or other celebrations. Order a charcuterie box to make the occasion even more special!

There are over 20 varieties of sunflowers, and plenty of selfie opportunities! Be sure to bring your camera and have fun with the props!

Sunflowers before maturity turn to face the sun. This is called heliotropism. As they age and their seeds develop, they begin to droop. Depending on the timing of your visit, you may see a variety of sunflowers in different stages - enjoy the views!
