I've been seeing tons of pictures from friends on Facebook exploring the sunflower fields around Minnesota. We are at the peak of sunflower season which, according to The Boutique Adventurer, is August and September.

Last summer wasn't a super great year for sunflowers because of the drought but this summer is looking much better! There are quite a few sunflower fields/sunflower farms across Minnesota and they're beautiful places to take pictures!

Brand Farms is located in Farmington. I've been to Brand Farms for apple picking and it's a great place. We also have apple syrup from them and it's SO good. But honestly, I didn't know they had a sunflower field until today!

Fresh Acres has 5 acres of sunflowers to enjoy this year. Their website says that they'll be open starting mid-August and open on the weekends to check out. If you want to visit on a weekday you have to make an appointment. Also, there is a small admission fee to the sunflower fields of $8 per person. And if you'd like to take a bouquet of sunflowers home with you you can do that for $2 per stem.
