This post is for sunflower fields all over the state of Michigan. If you are looking for more flower field options (lavender, dahlia, gardens, etc.), you can check out my most second most popular post of all time on those fields HERE.
I will keep this post updated when new details emerge as the season goes along. Peak sunflower time is not until August/Sept, but that gives you plenty of time to make plans!
Also, please remember to be respectful if you visit so that these beautiful places stay open to visitors!
Some places offer U-Pick and others are just for taking beautiful photos, so please make sure before you cut any flowers!

Please drive carefully. We have kids, chickens, cats, and a dog. If the dog gets out he’s very friendly but forgets his manners when he’s excited and jumps up on people. His name is Newt.
There’s a pond so please be cautious of that.
As always, this is our home so please respect our property and animals.
