Butterfly Release Tickets

On Saturday, September 7th at 10:30am we will be having a butterfly release! You'll get to release a Painted Lady Butterfly (or two or three....purchase as many as you want!) in our gorgeous sunflower field.


Step 1: Select how many butterflies you want. Cost is $8 per butterfly.

Step 2: Purchase either a $5 corn maze ticket* OR a $22 Fun Pass* for each member of your group. The corn maze ticket is a minimum requirement to get you access to the sunflower field + 2 u-pick blooms. If you want to do a lot of other fall festival activities while you are here, we recommend the Fun Pass.


Important to know:

  • This sunflower field is located on the far side of our corn maze. You will need to walk approximately 1,000 feet from the parking lot to the sunflower field. Shuttle service is not available.
  • We do not have any photo spots set up in this field, BUT it's beauty speaks for itself. Perfect healthy plants, and practically no weeds.....
  • Please arrive on time! We will have the butterflies ready at 10:30am and we don't want to stress them by keeping them waiting too long.
  • Your required corn maze or Fun Pass ticket also includes 2 u-pick sunflower blooms. 
  • Additional blooms can be purchased on-site for $1 per bloom.
  • Water, rubber bands, bags, and clippers will be provided for taking your flowers home. You will be responsible for bagging your flowers.

 

This event is held on the first day of our Country Pumpkins Fall Festival. Once you're finished at the sunflower field, stop by our concession stand for a delicious lunch or fun treats like kettle corn, fresh squeezed lemonade, apple cider slushies, soft pretzels, funnel cakes, and more!



*The corn maze ticket gives you access to our sunflower field, 2 u-pick blooms, plus entrance into our 4 Acre Corn Maze if you wish to do it too! The Fun Pass gives you access to all of our activities here at the farm: 4 Acre Corn Maze / sunflower field, 2 u-pick blooms, hayride, barrel train ride, Pumpkin Ridge (includes petting zoo and lots of fun indoor and outdoor play areas!), 4 shots from the Chunkin' Pumpkin Launcher.
