While our sunflower fields are looking beautiful, the flowers won’t be quite ready for picking during opening weekend. As a working farm, bloom times are determined by Mother Nature, and we’re giving the fields a little more time to reach their peak.

The good news? Opening weekend will still be filled with plenty to enjoy!

Beginning at 4:30 PM, join us for:

Live music from talented local musicians
Delicious food fresh off the grill
Local beer, wine, and cider
Our Pop-Up Shop featuring Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils products, sunflower merchandise, complimentary tastings, and more

We’ll announce the start of sunflower picking as soon as the fields are ready. Thank you for your patience—we promise they’re worth the wait!

As always, our event is weather permitting, so if you’re traveling a distance, please check our website or give us a call before heading out. Forecast is currently looking a bit wet.

Talented local musicians playing from country to classic rock

Live music begins at approximately 5:30 PM, giving you time to explore the fields, enjoy dinner, and shop before the music starts.

Please note: Sunflower picking and photography in the fields end at 7:30 PM, but you’re welcome to stay and enjoy the music, food, drinks, and sunset.

We’ll provide everything you need!

Clippers are available, or bring your own.
Farm buckets are provided while picking.
Take your bucket home for $7.

Food, Drinks & the Pop-Up Shop

Enjoy hot food fresh off the grill along with locally crafted beer, wine, and hard cider.

Then stop by our Pop-Up Shop.

As the home of Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils, our farm is where the journey begins. We grow sunflowers to produce our premium sunflower oil and naturally gluten-free sunflower flour, which we use to create many of the products you’ll find in our Pop-Up Shop.

You’ll discover our farm-made sunflower oil, gluten-free baking mixes, handcrafted skincare products, sunflower-inspired gifts, apparel, home décor, seasonal merchandise, and more.

Be sure to enjoy our complimentary tastings before taking your favorites home.

Giving Back

A portion of the proceeds from our Sunflower Picking Event benefits Sparrow’s Nest, helping support local families in our community.

Every visit helps us continue this tradition while giving back. Thank you for being part of something bigger.

Photography Sessions

Our sunflower fields provide a beautiful setting for portraits and special occasions.

Professional photography sessions outside of regular event hours are available by appointment.

Please contact us for more information.

Planning Your Visit

Our Fields

Our sunflower fields bloom on nature’s schedule. Throughout the season, we open different fields as they reach peak bloom, giving every guest the best picking experience possible.

Some fields are a short walk from parking, while others require a little more walking. If accessibility is important, feel free to call before your visit to ask which field is open that day.

What to Bring

We recommend bringing:

Comfortable, closed-toe shoes
Water
Natural bug spray (also available in our Pop-Up Shop)
A lawn chair for evening music

Bees

Bees and other beneficial pollinators are a natural part of our sunflower fields. If you have a bee allergy or are uncomfortable around bees, please plan accordingly.

Pets

Dogs are welcome! Please keep them leashed and clean up after them.
