Sunflower Festival
Event Hours:
Sat & Sun 10am-6pm
Our Sunflower Festival is a special event put on every summer to celebrate our beautiful sunflower fields. Our sunflowers are harvested every fall to press the seeds into culinary oil, however, they are a sight to behold while they are blooming. Oilseed sunflowers are not like ornamental sunflower varieties that bloom for 3 weeks or more. Oilseed sunflowers bloom and begin to turn their heads to start drying their seed after only about 12 days. This means that we have a limited window to enjoy them in. This window is when we hold our Sunflower Festival; when they are the most beautiful. It is also why there is a firm end date to our festival.
From the joy these fields of sunflowers bring, came the desire to give back to our community. We partnered with Make-A-Wish NH in 2016 because they are an organization we feel strongly about. Our farm is a family destination, and Make-A-Wish NH works with children and families. The pairing couldn't be more perfect. We have enjoyed working with them and look forward to many more. We donate 10% of admissions from the Sunflower Festival. In 2017, we were thrilled to find out that we were able to fulfill the whole cost of a wish for a very deserving little girl. In 2018, we doubled our donation fulfilling two wishes! Over the last seven years, we have been able to donate over $90,000.
