Gust Flower and Produce Farm Has a 5-Acre Sunflower Trail in Michigan That’s Just as Magnificent as It Sounds

If you’re searching for a way to get happily lost among a field of colorful blooms, we’ve got the perfect opportunity for your Michigan bucket list. While we’ve previously featured this family farm in Michigan for its autumn activities, there’s so much more to be discovered at its accompanying flower and produce farm—including an enchanting sunflower trail that comes to life with vibrancy and fun each year. Round up a few adventurous loved ones and prepare to get happily lost among the flowers.

Gust Flower and Produce Farm is located along Rodesiler Highway in the town of Ottawa Lake, Michigan. While activities at the pumpkin farm aren’t available until the early fall, Gust Brothers offers a unique and whimsical experience at its flower and produce farm: a sunflower trail that opens for visitors in the late summer. The sunflower trail is currently in bloom, and for just a short time, so be sure to make your trip soon!

This five-acre wonderland is the dreamiest destination imaginable, offering guests the chance to stroll through row after row of bright, golden blooms. You’ll pay a small fee to enter the sprawling, magnificent trail. Don’t forget your camera, as you’ll want to snap a few photos of the family exploring this beautiful locale. On a summer afternoon, it’s impossible to imagine a more charming spot to explore, unwind, and breathe.

Of course, there’s more than just a sunflower trail at Gust Flower and Produce Farm. When you visit, you can also bring home a few u-pick veggies straight from the fields—talk about genuine farm-to-table freshness. There are also cut-your-own flower options for those who want to add a dash of brightness and color to the day. Bring home a bouquet or two to liven up your house or gift to a loved one who wasn’t able to tag along. (Just be sure to note that the sunflowers along the trail aren't available for picking).

If picking your own produce isn’t quite your thing, never fear: you can also load up on pre-picked fare. After a day of exploring the sunflower trail, nothing will beat a meal cooked with delicious farm-fresh ingredients. Strawberries and peaches are a must toward the end of summer, so get them while you still can!

If you're visiting with little ones, be sure to show them the play area. You can purchase a goat feed cup for just $2 to feed the friendly roaming goats. Other fun attractions include a tractor playset, a straw fort, basketball, and more.

Gust Flower and Produce Farm is open daily for the season between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. For the most up-to-date information on sunflower trail progress and admission details, check out Gust Flower and Produce Farm on Facebook.
