Thank you for a wonderful 2025 Sunflower Festival!
THANK YOU so much to everyone who visited our farm this weekend! We are so grateful for every single guest, musician, sound tech, vendor, paramedic, and helper who made this such a special weekend.
We are a small team of 18 full-time farmers, crafters, shippers, and support staff, and each festival is pulled together with their dedication and a few extra helping hands. Our festivals have grown organically over the years, so now our master crafters are also master parkers, and our finishing team can run registers like pros! We couldn’t be prouder of our team for their hard work, long hours, and positive spirits. We may be a little tired today, but we’re still glowing from spending the weekend with all of you.
On Saturday we had a rush of visitors arrive all at once, and with fewer parking helpers than planned it meant longer waits than we would have liked. We truly appreciate your patience as our crew worked hard to adjust, and we are grateful to the team that managed the overwhelm as best as they could. Over the past few years, we’ve converted about 8.5 acres of our farmland into parking, and we’ll continue dreaming up new ways to make each festival run even more smoothly.
Many guests asked why we offer our sunflowers and admission for free so we wanted to answer that for you! Our sunflowers are planted to replenish valuable nutrients into our soil as part of our crop rotation. We offer them for free because our goal for the last 30 years has always been to "craft smiles," and this is another small way that we can share smiles with our community while still benefiting our crops. We love being able to share our 200-acre farm so you can see the beauty that we get to experience every day. There's something special about spending a day in nature and honoring agriculture that is worth sharing.
We host three festivals each year, and our Sunflower Festival is quickly becoming the most popular! If you enjoyed your time on the farm, we invite you to follow our page for updates on next year’s Spring Festival, Summer Celebration, and Sunflower Festival 2026.
