In most parts of the country, sunflowers are late-summer arrivals, showing off bursts of happy vibrant yellows in many farm fields. Sunflowers often last through part of the fall, which seems to help make summer last a little longer in our minds. If you’re looking for a farm to cut your own sunflowers and to take photos, M & D Farms and Garden Center in Homer Glen is home to a gorgeous sunflower field that is sure to make your day a bit brighter.

Located in the village of Homer Glen about 30 miles southwest of Chicago, M & D Farms and Garden Center provides plenty of bedding flats, perennials, and other flowers for visitors to buy and plant at home.
