Field Reports
This page is where you can find the most up-to-date information on what our fields look like prior to your arrival.
-
While we do our best to plant our crops so they can be enjoyed throughout the entire season, we do realize that weather plays a vital role and there could be times when the crops are not at their "peak" when you are at the farm.
-
We also encourage you to look how the crops change over time. You will be able to see from week to week how they progress, change, and their overall life cycle.
-
Sunflowers, cut flowers, and pumpkins are agricultural crops and therefore subject to weather, growing conditions, and ripening variables. We cannot guarantee what they will look like on a particular date, so please prepare to be flexible with your visit.
