Good to Know
The Golden Hour sessions run Friday and Saturday, 3pm to 8pm, and the farm is candid about what they are for: "the perfect setting for photos, family memories, and a magical summer evening on the farm."
The farm also makes its own maple syrup and honey.
Pro tip: $18 in and $2.50 a stem means a bunch of ten sunflowers costs $43 for one person. Price it up before you go, and be clear that what you are buying is an evening in a field at golden hour, not flowers.
