2026 Dates TBA

Sunflower Field Update:

A small portion of blooms were affected by the August 9 storm, but with 18 acres and 30+ varieties, there’s still endless beauty to explore — and thousands more sunflowers yet to bloom!

Goodbye summer, hello fall—welcome to a sea of sunflowers. 

With over 450,000 sunflowers overlooking the stunning Elkhorn River bottom, our Sunflower Festival is a breathtaking celebration of the changing seasons and the beauty of farm life. This three-week event is our largest festival of the year—filled with golden moments, unforgettable views, and something for everyone. 

- U-Pick sunflower fields 

- U-pick Sunflower patch featuring 15 unique varieties

- Sunflower maze adventure 

- Butterfly release ceremonies 

- Perfect backdrops for senior photos, family portraits, and memory-making - "Rise & Bloom" sunrise sessions—limited ticketed event 

Whether you're wandering through the maze, picking the perfect bloom, or watching the sun rise over a golden field, our Sunflower Festival is an experience you won’t forget. 

Come celebrate the beauty of the season with us—where summer lingers and fall begins.
