We ask that you please bring your own scissors or garden pruners with you to cut flowers.

Be sure to bring your own clean bucket to transport your flowers home in. We have some take-home options, see pricing for details.

Sometimes Mother Nature can make our fields a little soggy and slippery so be sure you bring appropriate footwear.

Sunglasses, water bottles, hats, and sunscreen can make our sunshine filled fields a lot more enjoyable during the summer months.

Some people enjoy wearing gloves as a few plants might have scratchy leaves and sap.

In 2023 we are growing orange, white nite, red and a red-lemon bicolor sunflower.

We grow ProCut Sunflowers which is a pollenless single-stem sunflower variety. Pollenless sunflowers are ideal for cut flowers in your home because they don’t drop pollen around like a open-pollinated varieties. Don’t worry, these pollenless sunflowers aren’t bad for the bees. They still provide the necessary nectar and our other flowers around the farm invite bees for pollen.

We also have traditional big bloom sunflowers.

Check in at the tent to select your container that you will cut in to and get a quick demonstration on how to cut flowers.

Fill your container with water at our tent.

Once you have cut your flowers, checkout at the tent. Transfer your flowers from our bucket to your own and ENJOY the beauty you harvested.

It is not recommended to leave your cut flowers in a hot car or in direct sunlight.

The most important thing to keep your flowers fresh is starting with a clean vase or jar at home. Bacteria in the water clog the stems’ ability to take up water and will drastically reduce vase life.

Give the stems a fresh cut at a 45-degree angle before putting them in the clean vase(s) at home. This maximizes the surface area for water uptake.

Be sure there are no leaves below the water line in the vase. This will cause the water to build bacteria quickly.

We recommend every 2-3 days changing the water and giving the stems a fresh cut on the bottom.

Keep the flowers away from direct sunlight to extend their vase life.
