This Indiana Farm Is One Of The Best Places To View Summer Sunflowers

Fun fact: most of Indiana's wildflowers bloom in spring and early summer, but don't worry - there's still plenty of time for enjoying flowers anyway, even if spring has already wandered past. For example, summer (and autumn, actually) is sunflower season, and anyone interested in experiencing entire fields of sunflowers in Indiana is going to want to listen up: I've found the perfect place for doing exactly this, and guess what? You can pick some and take them home, too. Check it out:

Typically opening for the summer season in July, Golliher Farms didn't even start out as a sunflower farm... it just kind of happened.

It all started in 2019, when the owner, Joe, wanted to plant a sunflower field for his partner, whose favorite flower is the sunflower (I don't blame her).

Well, long story short, he overplanted, and soon an incredible field of sunflowers covered his farm.

Word spread fast. In 2019 alone, the first year the flowers were even a thing, more than 2,000 people came to see them.

Needless to say, it definitely became a thing. In 2020, Golliher Farms accomplished the incredible goal of one million sunflowers in its fields...

...and now, there are plans to double that number for subsequent years and many years to come. And you're invited!

For just $5.00 per person, you and the family can come pick your own stunning sunflowers, of which there are numerous varieties and types.

Golliher Farms has the snips, water, and jars - you just put the whole thing together. It makes for a great date idea, too - what's more romantic than giving her a bouquet? Letting her make her own out of incredible sunflowers, obviously.

You won't believe the variety there is.

I had no idea there are so many different types of sunflowers! You've got your giant ones - the ones that typically come to mind when thinking of the flower at all - and then there's an array of red, orange, yellow, and sometimes multi-colored blooms, too.

The farm also offers wedding and event opportunities - if you've ever wanted your family photos taken in a sunflower field, Golliher Farms is happy to supply the field.
