Sunflower Festival is a celebration of all things SUNFLOWER! It is a time to enjoy the final moments of Summer and the welcoming of Fall, with a 14 acre field full of sunflowers of every color and variety for you to behold! Red, orange, yellow, chocolate, white, pink, large and small – we’ve got them all! While you are experiencing all the breathtaking beauty of these irresistible blooms, feel free to participate in the following activities:
- Pick Your Own Sunflowers: Our sunflowers are of the highest quality and variety. If you feel like taking some sunshine home with you, we provide sheers for you to clip your own blooms for $2 each. You can bring a vase from home or purchase one from us. We have varied sizes and styles for you to choose from, starting at just $5 each. If you purchase a vase we will fill it with preservative and water for free. If you bring a vase from home, the preservative water is only $1.50 and keeps your blooms looking beautiful longer.
- Sunflower Maze: Not only do we offer one of the most beautiful sunflower fields in the state, but we go the extra mile to create up to 2 miles of pathways through the sunflowers, so you can enjoy every single one! Get lost in the beauty of the world’s most amazing flower!
- Hayride Tour: Folks can choose to walk to the sunflowers through the designated walking path. However, why walk when you can ride? Enjoy a relaxing hayride out to the field where you get an elevated and unique view of the field that you just can’t get otherwise. It’s already included in your admission to the farm, so hop on and enjoy the ride!
- Photography: Our customers are welcome to take as many photos as they like of our sunflowers if they purchase admission tickets to the farm. All we ask is that you tag us or check-in with any social media posts or sharing, so others can know where to find gorgeous sunflowers for their photos!
- Professional Photography Services: We do not offer photography services ourselves, but we do partner with local professionals to offer our customers high quality professional images they can savor for a lifetime! If you are interested in working with our featured photographers, please contact C’est La Vie Photography at cestlaviephotos@gmail.com. If you already have a photographer in mind, feel free to bring them along during public open hours.
- Private Photography Sessions: If you are looking for a more private setting, we offer Private Photography Sessions Monday – Friday for $75/hour. You bring your photographer (or contact our featured photographer if you’d like) on a day when NO ONE ELSE is there. You literally have the ENTIRE farm to yourself. This is perfect for proposals, senior photo shoots, and corporate photography events. If you would like to schedule a Private Photography Session, please email info@countryroadsfun.com.
You can do all this and MORE at Sunflower Festival! While you’re at the farm, feel free to shop our Farm Store – stocked with sunflower-themed décor, products, and apparel. Hungry? Enjoy some farm-to-table goodness from our very own food trucks!
