Sunflower Photography

Personal Photography for our Visitors …

The sunflower trail is a special place & we thoroughly encourage our visitors to make memories & take photos! Bring your camera and  click away at the flowers and our many photo ops … just be sure to practice proper social distancing & be courteous of others. And please, no tripods as they tend to block the pathways while in use.

How to Reserve Your Dates

A limited number of photographers will be allowed in the field for photo sessions each evening. To reserve your dates please email emma@vonthunfarms.com with the dates you’re interested in booking. Your dates are not confirmed until your non-refundable deposit ($100) has been received via check or PayPal. 

Your remaining balance will be due in the farm market the date of your first session. Please keep in mind we are requiring at least 72 hours notice for reservations so we have adequate staff available for that evening.

Sunflowers are an agricultural crop. Therefore, we can never guarantee them for the date(s) you’ve selected. If there’s inclement weather or damage to the crops, we will work with you to reschedule for another date that’s convenient for you and your clients or issue you a refund.

Moo & You: Highland Hugs with Hope – Reserve your tickets now!

Fun for the Whole Family!

Come spend some one-on-one time with Hope, our sweet mini Highland cow, during this fun barnyard experience at Von Thun Farms in Washington, NJ!

Highland cows are known for their gentle nature, long shaggy coats, and love of attention and Hope is no exception. She lives for chin scratches, quiet brushes, and cozy cuddles. During your visit, you’ll get to groom her, take some adorable photos, offer her some treats, and soak up some slow, peaceful farm time.

You’ll have the chance to meet, hug, cuddle, groom, and snap photos with Hope – and even feed her a treat or two. A few of her sheep and goat friends will be there to join in the fun too!

Each visit is a 30-minute private experience, and your time begins promptly at the ticketed start time. Tickets must be purchased online in advance, and space is limited to 6 guests per group/time slot. These are our May dates – June dates coming soon!
