Seventy acres of sunflowers just 40 miles west of DC!
We plant over 30 varieties of "cutting" sunflowers and several varieties of oil sunflowers on more than 70 acres in successive crops to ensure at least four weeks of blooming flowers.
Sunflower Mazes
We also plant beautiful sunflower mazes! In 2025, we will have three sunflower mazes. Each maze blooms for approximately ten days, so we should have at least one maze in bloom each week of the summer season this year! Check our Facebook or Instagram page during the summer for more information on our sunflower mazes.
Our trademark Sunflower Sunsets - evenings in the sunflower fields are not to be missed!
