The Beautiful Sunflower Farm Hiding In Plain Sight In Illinois That You Need To Visit

L&A Family Farms in Paris, Illinois is known for many things; they raise many types of livestock and grow over 50 types of fruits and vegetables. But, what many visitors to their farm enjoy most are their gorgeous sunflowers spread across two acres of farm land. Keep reading to find out what makes this incredible sunflower farm even more special!

Each July, the sunflowers slowly start to bloom.

When the middle of the month hits, the field begins to turn from green to yellow. Most of them grow to be about five to eight feet tall.

Once the flowers are in full bloom, the field is open for visitors.

The window of time in which the flowers are in full bloom is fairly short. So, the farm extends its hours of operation so everyone can get a chance to see them.

The beautiful field seems to go on forever.

Though they just started planting sunflowers within the last couple of years, the plants have taken over the farm. They make for a stunning photo opportunity!

And now, for the best part: each year, the sunflower field is made into a maze.

Visitors young and old wander through the maze, enjoying the beauty of nature. Don't be surprised if you hit some dead ends along the way!

This is what the maze looks like from above.

In 2016, the maze was formed to spell out the name of the farm. This year, it could be anything!

This is one farm that simply must be seen to be fully appreciated.

The size and colors of the beautiful flowers are unlike anything else. And at just $3.00 a visit, who can say no?

L&A Family Farms is located at 21661 Staley Road in Paris, IL.
