This time of year we pull our OPEN/CLOSED sign into the shop. Why? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Our self-serve flower fields are open every day from 9 AM until sunset ๐ŸŒธ But our store and berry/apple picking are only open 3 days a week.

At the end of store hours, instead of flipping our sign to โ€œClosed,โ€ we bring it inside so folks donโ€™t think the whole farm is closed. You could say weโ€™re open-ish from 9 AM to sunset ๐Ÿ˜‰โ€”so feel free to drive in, park in our parking lot, and enjoy the flowers, photos, and fields.

โœจ Sunflowers and zinnias are still blooming beautifully, and there are plenty waiting for you to pick!

๐ŸŽ Farmer Greg (our apple guru!) is officially opening the orchard for Zestar! apple picking this Saturday.
