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! 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

Though Tuttle Orchards will not have their Sunflower Meadow experience this year, they will still offer their gorgeous sunflowers in their u-cut flower patch. Their u-cut flowers are estimated to start in late August, according to their website. Prices range from $10-$45 depending on size desired. Their quart jars are $20 and include all the flowers you can fit in the jar (plus the jar). There is no cost for entry into this area! Just the price of flowers.  Single bloom sunflowers if desired outside of a bouquet are $3 when available.


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 in late 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 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! The first weekend to enjoy sunflowers will be Labor Day weekend as well as the following weekend. If they have sunflowers left after that, they will do a third weekend. They have many varieties of sunflowers to explore and photo opportunities offered throughout your experience. Stay tuned for more information.

Conner Prairie Sunflower Fields – Fishers

This outdoor experience at Conner Prairie is returning late this summer, available for a limited time coming soon. They have planted nearly 200,000 seeds in their three acre field for you to enjoy! And while you are there, head to their museum store to check out their fun sunflower-themed items for sale.

We hope you get a chance to enjoy these beautiful sunflower farms in Indianapolis this summer. Make some memories, pick yourself a lovely bouquet, and enjoy the beautiful summer days while they last.
