Visiting Washington’s Upcoming Sunflower Festival In Snohomish Is A Great Summer Activity
Is there a happier sight than a field of sunflowers? The sunflower symbolizes loyalty, adoration, and positivity. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that they bloom in the summer in Washington, when we’re already in better moods thanks to the weather we’ve waited all year to enjoy.
This summer, make a trip to Snohomish for the Berries and Blooms Festival. Not only will you get to walk among the gorgeous sunflowers, but you can leave with a bounty of blueberries.
Each of the small family operated farms in Snohomish has a unique character, but this place is truly one-in-a-million.
The farm most likely dates back to the 1940s. In 2007, it was purchased by Keith and Janet Stocker, fourth generation farmers in the Snohomish River Valley.
But when the blueberries are ripe for picking and the sunflowers bloom, the family kicks off the Berries and Blooms Festival, which usually runs from early July until early September.
But there is no admission necessary to access the U-pick fields, so you can always pick your own blueberries for $3.15 per pound.
You may walk about half a mile carrying a 25 pound bucket of berries.
You'll want to allow yourself a full two hours to enjoy all the views the farm has to offer and fill up on berries before you go.
There are several sunflower festivals in Washington, but as far as we know, this is the only place that gifts you a pint of blueberries during your visit.
