Sunflower Days: We're Opening Early!

Our sunflowers are a little ahead of schedule! We weren't planning to open early for sunflowers, BUT this perfect field of ours is just TOO GOOD to miss any of the blooms! We will be opening our sunflower field starting Saturday, August 31st through September 5th on select days and times.


Once we reach our Fall Festival opening day on September 7th, you can visit the sunflower field without a special timed ticket any time during our business hours for $5 (not sure how much longer that field will be in bloom by the 7th - likely a week or less). If you want to experience the sunflowers at their peak for photos, etc, we recommend visiting during these designated Sunflower Days from 8/31 - 9/5.


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. 
  • We estimate this field contains 37,000 blooms!!!
  • Average plant height is 4.5 - 5.5 feet tall.
  • You can arrive any time during your ticket window, please note the gate will close and be locked at the end of the ticket time.
  • This ticket does NOT include any Country Pumpkins activities.....we are still setting up for that opening day on 9/7.


Included in this $5 per person ticket:

  • Access to the sunflower field and our corn maze if you wish.
  • 2 blooms you get to pick from the field.
  • 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.


Advance registration required! Get your tickets today!
