RAIN OR SHINE
Join us on our 200-acre farm in Carlisle, PA for our free annual two-day Sunflower Festival during our fall sunflower season! Pick as many sunflowers as you would like for free and enjoy a day on the farm with food trucks, sales, artisan craft vendors, and more!

Make sure to bring along a vase/bucket and clippers to pick FREE sunflowers! We will have a clipping station and water available and just in case you forget a vase or clippers, we will have them available for purchase in our store and at the information tent.
Get excellent deals during this awesome annual Oops Sale! This is the perfect time to stock up on discounted hand-crafted gourds that have a minor blemish (or may have just been retired).
UPDATE: Because of the rain, we are moving all of our Artisan Craft Vendors inside so you can shop leisurely without getting wet!
Stroll through our grassy lawn and shop a variety of Artisan craft vendors! Each booth will be filled with artisan-made goodies for you to enjoy!
UPDATE: Due to the amount of rain we have gotten the past few days, we need to cancel our trolley rides.
If you bought tickets, you will be receiving a refund in 3-7 days.
Take a trolley ride around our 200-acre farm to see beautiful sights of sunflowers in bloom. Our Trolley Rides take approximately 45 minutes and are $5.00. There is not a charge for handheld infants. Be sure to get your tickets before the event as they tend to sell out.
Adventures with Taurus and Friends will be here on Sunday, September 29th from 10-6 for all your cow cuddling and animal petting needs.
Right beside the Meadowbrooke Farm, you will find Warehime's Pumpkin Patch who offer a large selection of pumpkins in many shapes and colors. Stop by, grab a wagon, and pick your own! Be sure to enjoy their photo ops as well! Warehime's also hosts designer sunflowers of many colors.
Enjoy a craft beer from Molly Pitcher Brewing Company, or PA wines from Castlerigg Wine Shop!
Visit our 7,000 sq ft Gift Shop on the farm filled with gourds for all seasons as well as other artisan crafts, gifts, raw hard shell gourds for crafting, food items and more!
Young and old can enjoy getting their faces painted by Oh Look, Face Painting by Amber on our grassy event lawn.
Stop by our Make Your Own Scarecrow inside our gift shop to build your very own toddler-sized scarecrow. Choose your overalls and shirt, stuff with straw, and pick out your very own gourd head to complete your scarecrow while supplies last.

Though pets are welcome on the farm on regular days, we ask that you keep your furry friends at home during our festival days as there are large crowds and rescued animals and bunnies on the farm on this day.
You can pick as many as you would like! Be sure to stop by our cutting stations to get some water for your new beautiful bouquets.
We do have clippers available for sale. We do not loan out clippers during Sunflower Season or at our festivals, so please bring your own or purchase some at our information tent or in our gift shop!
Yes! Our fields are open from dawn until dusk during Sunflower Season. You are welcome to use them for family photos. Please note that the fields will be very busy during our Sunflower Festival, so picking another day for photos may allow you to have more open fields with more options.
You do not have to register to pick sunflowers. You can enter the fields and start picking! We recommend bringing a pair of clippers or scissors along with you as you venture into our sunflower fields. You can also purchase clippers and vases at our information tent at the festival.
