Kansas is the "sunflower state" and wild sunflowers and commercial
sunflower fields can be found across the state, but in recent years, cultivated
sunflower fields which are open to the public have become phenomenally
popular. So many people want a chance to walk through the sunflower fields
and take family photos that one location has had lines of cars up to a
half mile long.
But other farms have responded to the demand and here
is a list of the sunflower fields we have had a chance to visit. Several
of them have pages devoted to them and we will be adding more. There are
still more public sunflower fields, including KC Farm School at Gibbs Road
in Kansas City, 3 Oaks Barn in DeSoto, P&M Pumpkin Ranch in Moundridge,
Kansas, Gary's Farm Fest in Grantville, and Hickory Hollow Pumpkin Patch
near Spearville, Kansas. We are attempting to visit them when they are
in bloom. If you have a public sunflower field we have not listed,
email
us with details and an invitation to visit.
Please contact us at keith@mightymac.org
with other sunflower fields which are open to the public.
