Great day trip recommend going during the week if you can. Great photo opportunities. There are places to park but may fill up quickly on a busy weekend. There are no bathrooms on site so plan ahead.

It was amazing there. I like how there's paths to walk through, that made it easier for my mom that uses a walker. The sunflowers were just beautiful. I will definitely go back

It's always a pleasure to come and see the beautiful sunflowers in bloom each year. The Grinters have work this place for 4 generations and I don't think they plan on stopping anytime soon.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

They are in FULL bloom right now. There are two main fields..the one by Sunflower General is further along..many stages here. The other field has what looks like two varieties planted near the red barn area. Some are further along than others, multiple stages here. There is plenty of beauty if you look. Unless they have another stealth field somewhere doubtful they will be blooming end of Oct.

Our first frost typically happens sometime in October but the flowers are usually gone by mid-September at the latest. (Usually...) Thanks for asking, Cindy.

Ary Renaud | May 13, 2019
Grinter Sunflower Farms (Grinter Farms, Inc.) (Owner) | May 14, 2019

A dollar per head, but I would wait if you are wanting them to feed the birds as the seed is not yet filled out. About another month should be enough time. The petals should be long gone, the heads have to droop, and the backside should be yellow.

Savannah Kenadee | May 13, 2019
Linda P | May 14, 2019

As Mike and Beth said, the sunflowers are in peak bloom between mid August and mid September. The exact peak bloom that lasts about two weeks depends on the amount of rain and overall weather conditions every year. To keep track of when the peak bloom is expected to be this year, visit the Grinter Farm Facebook page or their website.

Are the sunflowers blooming now? How is the scenery? Looking to take photos Also what times is it open?

Chrysta Cayton | May 13, 2019
Linda P | May 14, 2019

The Grinter Fam sunflowers bloom sometime between late August and mid September. The sunflowers are in rolling farm fields. You park in a designated dirt lot and walk directly into the fields. To take the best photos, bring at least a two-step kitchen stool to get you above the 5 foot tall sunflowers. If it's rained recently, the fields and parking lot will be muddy, and if it's been dry and hot, the fields will be very dusty. Plan ahead and check the weather before you go. For hours, check the Grinters Farm website and Facebook page. You'll also see when the peak bloom is expected for this year - it varies year to year depending on rainfall and other weather conditions. Do go at peak bloom - it's a magical experience! I wish I could post a few of my photos from last year here for you so you can know better what to expect, but there are thousands of Grinter sunflower photos you can see online by searching on Google Images. Good luck!

Donny Garner | May 13, 2019
Grinter Sunflower Farms (Grinter Farms, Inc.) (Owner) | May 14, 2019

Donny, we are just a field so no admission charge. Please note that if you come at peak hours, getting a large coach turned around may be a bit of a struggle depending on where you go. We do manage semi's (we are a farm) but are usually not driving them when other cars are around. You are very welcome to give it a go if you are adventurous. We attempt to have the peak bloom time around Labor Day. The flowers only last 1-2 weeks depending on the weather.

Time of year- you'll have to keep an eye out on their Facebook page around labor day, that's when they bloom. Time of day - any time is great, I think that mornings are recommended due to the better light and less traffic. As far as I'm concerned, there IS no bad time! Fantastic place; I would suggest you go on a sunny day, when the flowers are in full bloom
