We are asked a lot “When is a good time to come?”. Spring Season with us is like a step back in time. A time when crowds were low and hospitality is high. When you can spread out a blanket for a picnic or sit back enjoy your family and friends, take in the fresh air, the adorable farm animals and all the beauty the farm offers. Our Sunflower crop is AMAZING! Going through so many different phases during season. Our Sunflowers start out “Lush And Green” at the beginning of season with blooms usually just starting to appear here and there on boarders and in gardens. This is when the challenge of the maze is at it’s best. the thick “Lush And Green” is difficult to see through and creates a great labyrinth. As our plants mature more flowers start to appear. We like to describe the next time frame “Scattered Blooms”. This is when you have pops of the vibrant yellow flowers sporadically through the field. This is a beautiful time and still has a lot of that lush green that the prior stage gives you. This allows for both a great maze challenge and the chance to see some towering flowers. Farmer Lisa ‘s Favorite is How you have the beautiful green heart shaped leaves still present and get to experience the contrast of the yellow bursting in the field. Next we come to what we call “Blooming” in the field. Flowers do not all open up and mature all together.  So when we reach “Blooming” plants are mature to the point that the plants main focus is on the flower portion of the plant. This means a lot of the lush green contrast is lost as leaves start to drop and yellow.  Young flowers will be plentiful and accompanied  older flowers that are starting to drop their heads and produce seed. Our field of flowers is not designed to all bloom at the same time. This allows a better expression of stages and a longer opportunity for viewing.

 

The truth is there is never a bad time to experience the field during spring except when it is over! As it undergoes it’s beautiful life cycle it bring through amazing butterflies, birds and memorable experiences. We do our best to predict the time our crop needs to make it through it’s life cycle. But Mother Nature is truly in charge. We have had past years that bad weather has caused our field to end early. Be sure not to procrastinate your visit or you could miss this great experience.
