This Sunflower Festival In New Hampshire Is Worth A Trip

New Hampshire in the summer is a sight to behold. From lakes to mountains to forested fields, getting outside into the fresh air is always a high priority for us. And, one of our favorite ways to enjoy the outdoors here each summer is this sunflower festival. For just under two weeks this farm is awash in color, making everything look yellow and green for as far as the eye can see! And, even better, it goes to help support a great cause.

Coppal House Farm, located in Lee offers an abundance of vegetables and farm goods throughout the year. And in the fall they have a well-known corn maze. But, if you ask us, the summer is our favorite place to be on the farm!

This is when things come alive with the annual bloom of their Oilseed sunflower crop.

This variety of sunflowers is special because, unlike the ornamental variety, these only bloom for about 12 days.

That means that at the end of the 12 days, these flowers turn their heads and begin to dry and ultimately the farm turns them into sunflower oil.

But, for those 12 days things around here are pretty special!

Guests are invited to walk through the crops enjoying the flowers and all the joy they bring.

You'll find folks marveling at their height, while being sure to snap the perfect photo.

If you time your visit right, you might have the place to yourself which means lots of places for kids to run around.

The best part is that 10% of the total farm profits are donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Over the past four years, they've raised $35,000 allowing them to fully fund wonderful wishes for a few different children.

This annual festival is one of the most anticipated of the year.

And one walk around reveals exactly why people travel from so far to enjoy it!
