1st Day of the Season August 7th
After that we will be open 7 days a week from 11-5. Extended hours Fridays and Saturdays will begin later in August when we have multiple plantings of Sunflowers in Bloom.
The farm will remain open until the first frost mid to Late September
That’s hard to say exactly. Some people just pop into our store for a bag of carrots. Most U-pickers are in and out in 30 minutes. Families who enjoy our U-pick gardens & Mazes typically spend 2-3 hours, while a few keep themselves busy for 4-5 hours.
It also depends on the weather an what is In Season. There is the most to do in August, while not as much in July & after Mid September.
We are open Rain or Shine weekdays but will close due to poor weather on weekends, it is best to phone ahead if you see rain or snow outside your window. If your into Facebook we keep it up-to-date on weather related matters.
We recommend not wearing your best shoes when visiting the farm and rubber boots are definitely recommended for a day or 2 after a rain storm.

We typically expect the first blooms during the second week of August with a full bloom lasting 4-6 week starting mid August. However, the sunflower can bloom 2 weeks earlier or 2 weeks later than expected.. Typically we receive a hard frost early September which marks the end of the blooming period, but we have had blooms into the 4th week of September some years.
