Sunday July 30th , 2023
Check-in 5:30-7:30 am
Sunrise is at 6:07 am
$20 each ages 5+ - See Hours & Admissions page for more info
One day each sunflower season we open the fields at 5:30AM for Golden Hour! The early morning sun provides soft lighting for beautiful professional photos. The tickets for this morning are limited to prevent crowding in the field as many use it as a time for family, maternity or senior photos. We will have a couple of tasteful props set up in the field for those interested in family or staged photos. We will also have two viewing platforms on the eastern side of the field for a larger perspective!
So, if you are a seasoned professional or if you just want to test out what all those buttons really do on your new camera, plan a trip to Lee, NH. If you are interested in bringing clients for professional photos please see the details on the Photography page and our photography policy.
IMPORTANT INFO
Admission is required for any persons wishing to go to the sunflower fields. This includes photographers, photographers assistants, other persons ages 5 and older.
This event is open to anyone that wishes to attend. You do not have to be a professional photographer.

Make A Wish NH Raffle
Every year for the duration of our festival we hold a raffle to benefit Make-A-Wish NH. We have had many beautiful items donated from generous local businesses.
Here's how it works:
Raffle tickets can be purchased for $10 each in our farm stand
Items will be on display in our farm stand for you to see
You will choose one card from a deck of playing cards
(This means there is a 1 in 52 chance you will win that item...and that's only if all the cards get purchased)
You write your name on one half of the card, rip it in half and place the half with your name on it into the jar that corresponds with the item you are hoping to win.
It's that easy!
List of Items Coming Soon!
We are sol thrilled to have local impressionist artist Ron Quinn back at the farm this year. He will be on site painting live in our sunflower field. His painting will then be raffled for Make-A-Wish NH. 2023 will be Ron's 5th year painting live at our sunflower festival and his paintings are always stunning!
