U-Cut Summer Flowers

We’re more than a sunflower farm – we grow a wide variety of other flowers that you can cut and use to make your own bouquet!

Photography Policies

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