When I think of summertime, I think of berry picking, splash pads and pool time, and the constant laundering of beach towels. I also think of flowers – bright and beautiful flowers that lift our spirits and make us happy. Sunflowers are a staple of summertime, especially a field of sunflowers, where they grow above our heads as they naturally lean toward the sun. Indianapolis has many sunflower farms that you can visit on a nice summer day! See Circle City with us – here is our roundup of local Indianapolis sunflower farms.


Spencer Farm – Noblesville

First on our list of Indianapolis sunflower farms is Spencer Farm. Spencer Farm’s sunflower experience will open very soon – they wrote on their website that they are seeing the first blooms of the season! Check out their Facebook page for updated information daily. Spencer Farm plants these sunflowers for you to explore, take pictures, and cut flowers for an additional cost. The blooms are estimated to last two to three weeks.

Their hours are 9:00 am-6:00 pm Monday thru Saturday, 12:00-6:00 pm on Sundays. And as always, while you are there, be sure to stop by the farm store for a generous selection of additional produce and sweet treats.


Tuttle Orchards – Greenfield

Tuttle Orchards’ Sunflower Meadow will tentatively open towards the end of August this year, with a separate u-cut area opening August 29th. The anticipated sunflower experience will now allow families to explore as a part of the Farmyard experience and included in your Farmyard ticket. The sunflowers are estimated to bloom on and off for approximately two weeks. Check out their Facebook page for updates on the Sunflower Meadow closer to their opening date.


Beasley’s Orchard – Danville

Now that their berry season is finished, Beasley Orchard is planning other events and u-picks for the rest of the summer. Their U-Pick Sunflower season is taking place until the end of July, so make sure to check back to their website or social media pages for updated information on how you can get your tickets. They have planted sunflowers on eight acres for you to roam, pick sunflower blooms, and take photos during golden hour. Their hours are Fridays and Saturdays until 8:30 pm, Sundays 12:00-6:00 pm with access to the sunflower field closing at 5:00 pm.


Stuckey Farm – Sheridan

Stuckey Farm is another great place to visit during the sunflower craze of summer, so make sure you go to their Sunflower Festival! This year will be bigger than ever, with many varieties of sunflowers to explore and photo opportunities offered throughout your experience. The First Bloom is August 30th – September 1st and the Second Bloom is September 6th and 7th. There are two ways to purchase tickets to the Sunflower Festival, either on their website or via their mobile app.

Conner Prairie Sunflower Fields – Fishers

This outdoor experience at Conner Prairie is returning this summer, available for a limited time coming soon. Explore the three acres of sunflower fields, including five beautiful sunflower varieties, while it lasts! And while you are there, head to their museum store to check out their fun sunflower-themed items for sale.
