Plan Your Visit to Our Sunflower Farm

Nothing says summer like the beauty of a wide open sunflower field! The New Jersey Sunflower Trail at Von Thun Farms is located in scenic Washington Township, NJ (Warren County). While you’re visiting, you can wander the Trail, pick berries, cut your own summer flowers, visit our farm animals, shop our farm market, and take as many photos as you’d like! We have more than a dozen unique photo ops to make your experience complete. Make sure to visit again during our Sunflower Festivals in August!

Operating Hours: Daily, 10 am – 5 pm (closing at 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 4th and Monday, September 7th)
Tickets: Online tickets to visit the sunflower farm are encouraged and available here (kids are free ’till they’re 3!)

Sunflower Festivals

Our Sunflower Festivals are guaranteed to be the highlight of your summer! Stay for a few hours or the whole day – there’s lots to do and see! We’ve recruited an amazing line-up of food trucks, beer, wine, and artisanal crafters PLUS our usual Sunflower Trail Weekend offerings including our Sunflower Trail, u-pick summer flowers, peaches (NOT available for 2026), berries, hayrides, Activity Area, and farm animals.

DATES: Saturdays & Sundays in August and Labor Day Weekend

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!

We grow zinnias, marigolds, feather and cockscomb celosia, colored sunflowers, statice, ageratum, and lisianthus. Buy a vase or jar from us and fill it with as many cut flowers as you can! You must have a ticket to the Sunflower Trail in order to enter the u-cut flower fields.

Small: $5
Medium: $10
Large: $25
