Sunflowers are Here Beginning September 15th

We can't think of a better way to open our season other than with Sunflowers!

Last year we planted a bunch without realizing the true value of the Sunflower and how they can attract a crowd. This year, Farmer Mario has planted thousands and thousands of Sunflowers, 4 types in all. And he plans on having all of them bloom in the same time periods of our season.

What makes our Sunflowers best – well, we grow them under plastic and we feed them through drip irrigation! All they need after that is plenty of sun and heat! We’ll have live music, free wine tasting and more. Bring your clippers, or use ours.

Sunflower facts:

Sunflowers always face the sun, then twist and turn and show their face all day to the Sun
In ancient Greek, the sunflower meant adoration and loyalty
In China, it means “long life, good fortune and vitality
And to native Americans, it represents Harvest, bounty and spirit.
Sunflowers also given on 3rd wedding anniversaries.

Come enjoy the day at Hill Creek Farms, bring your camera’s, blankets and chairs, find a fun place alone and away from crowds and enjoy yourselves. Our Market will be open, grab some cider donuts and other market goodies, we have something for everyone! We look forward to being your host!
