Visit our Wildflower Field

We have grown a small wildflower field this year that we have opened to the public for free picking and photography. We will post updates to the field condition and availability here and on our social media. We hope that you enjoy the field!

Visit our farm and enjoy our scenic fields, pick some wildflowers, explore our gourd cottages (where some family-friendly games are available), and enjoy our large lawn area for free during open hours!

How it works

We grow this wildflower field and offer its beautiful flowers for free to bring smiles to our community. Please be respectful of the field so that our community can use it as long as possible.

This is a much smaller field than our vast sunflower fields, and we do not allow bulk picking for weddings and events at this time.

The wildflower field and our large lawn and cottage areas are open to the public during our wildflower hours (see below).

Please do not enter any other fields or properties during your exploring for your safety.

Pets are allowed on our farm, but we ask that you do not bring them for our festivals (July 19th).
