About Our Festival
Every summer, our Sunflower Festival celebrates the breathtaking beauty of our sunflower fields at their peak. While our sunflowers are grown for culinary oil—harvested in the fall and cold-pressed from oilseed varieties—they’re absolutely stunning in bloom. Unlike ornamental sunflowers, oilseed sunflowers have a short bloom window—just about 12 days before they begin to tilt their heads and dry down for harvest. That’s why our festival is carefully timed to catch them at their best—and why there’s always a firm end date.
This festival began simply as a way to share the joy of these golden fields. But that joy inspired us to do more. In 2016, we partnered with Make-A-Wish NH, an organization close to our hearts. Our farm is a family-friendly destination, and Make-A-Wish NH supports children and families across the state.
In 2017, thanks to the support of our visitors, we were proud to grant an entire wish for a deserving child. By 2018, we had doubled our impact and funded two wishes. Over the course of seven years, we’ve donated more than $90,000 to Make-A-Wish NH.
Starting in 2022, we expanded our giving to support more causes right here in our own backyard. While we continue to donate a percentage of our farm’s profits, those funds are now shared among several local organizations serving the Seacoast community.
For 2025, we’re proud to support these local nonprofits:

We still hold our annual Make-A-Wish Raffle during the festival, proceeds from which will solely benefit Make-A-Wish NH.
We know none of this would be possible without all of you that come to enjoy the sunflowers with us. Thank you for your generosity to our farm and the community. We look forward to seeing you all!
Accessibility at the Sunflower Festival
Our Sunflower Festival takes place right in the heart of our scenic farm fields, surrounded by nature’s beauty. To get there, guests travel along packed dirt, gravel, or grassy paths. While it’s a bit of a walk to fully experience the sunflower fields, visitors are welcome to bring wheelchairs, scooters, or other mobility devices. Please note that while many areas are accessible, we can't guarantee access to the entire field due to the natural terrain.
To ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy the sunflowers in comfort, we’ve created a special Limited Mobility Day on Monday, July 29, 2024. This day is designed with fewer crowds and added support for those who may need a bit more time and space to explore.
To keep everyone safe during the busier days of the festival, we are unable to allow vehicle access to the tents or fields and cannot provide transportation from the parking area.
We look forward to welcoming all visitors and are happy to help you plan a day that works best for your needs!
Thank You to Our 2025 Lead Sponsor
