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:
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.

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.
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.
Our sunflower fields provide a beautiful setting for portraits and special occasions.
Professional photography sessions outside of regular event hours are available by appointment.

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.
We recommend bringing:
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.
Dogs are welcome! Please keep them leashed and clean up after them.
Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted.
As a licensed establishment, your cooperation helps us continue offering local beer, wine, cider, and live music each season.
Our event is weather permitting. If you’re traveling a distance, please check our website or give us a call before heading out.
We’re a working family farm, and we kindly ask that all visits take place during our posted hours unless prior arrangements have been made.

Former IBMer, John is the Patriarch of the family. Loves to chat up a good story and listen to yours. But don’t turn your back, as he might be gone. He has been known to leave without notice. You can often find him driving around delivering our products throughout the Hudson Valley. His partner in crime, Cheryl works for the Wappingers Court system and can sometimes be found accompanying him on deliveries. He has much pride for his family and often refers to his 3 grandchildren, Claudia, Delaney and Colin as his legacy.

I plan on and off premise events as well as run the inside sales. You’ll often find me baking our fresh baked breads. I’m always thinking about what’s next and enjoy coming up with fresh ideas for the company. The best part of my job is working in a Sunflower field with my best friend, the guy with the big black hat.

I enjoy experimenting with new recipes and product development. I’m the guy with the big black hat.
