In late summer/early fall (let’s face it, it depends on the day, the sky, and the dew point) across Wisconsin, sunflowers bloom, rise, and create an amazingly beautiful sea of yellow, brown, and green in fields. It’s a huge photo op (yes, selfies included) and quite a few farms around the state offer the chance to walk amongst them, view them from platforms, and even pick and walk away with some of the beautiful blooms. Here are some of our favorites with details. Website and Facebook page links are included so you can get the latest details on protocol, and how the sunflowers are doing! Have fun and enjoy Wisconsin’s late summer beauty as you run around doing State Trunk Tours… here we go!
Skelly’s Farm Market, Janesville
2713 South Hayner Road
Janesville, WI 53548
(608) 757-1200
Website
Skelly’s is probably the largest omission from the current article. Its Sunflower Experience features roughly 150,000 blooms representing around 30 varieties across seven acres. The farm separates the field into walking, cutting and specialty-flower areas, with viewing platforms, trails and a variety of “prop stops” built for—you guessed it—plenty of pictures.
The season is short, usually lasting about two and a half weeks from late July into early August. Admission packages range from a basic visit with one sunflower to larger bouquet experiences that include a decorative bucket. Skelly’s is southwest of Janesville, just west of Highway 11 and not far from I-39/90. Its 2026 field has wrapped up, but the farm expects the sunflowers back in July 2027.
Thompson Farm, Bristol
7825 144th Avenue
Bristol, WI 53104
(262) 857-2353
Website
Thompson Farm brings sunflowers, zinnias and raspberries together for a colorful late-summer experience in Kenosha County. Visitors can stroll and pick flowers at their own pace during the week; weekends add live entertainment, food and children’s activities.
Each paid adult admission in 2026 included a souvenir cup visitors could fill with their own combination of sunflowers and zinnias—which certainly beats trying to balance loose stems and a camera on the walk back to the car. The flower season generally runs from mid-August through Labor Day. Thompson Farm is close to Highway 50 and only a few miles west of I-94.
Basse’s Taste of Country, Colgate
3190 County Road Q
Colgate, WI 53017
(262) 628-2626
Website
At Basse’s, the sunflowers arrive alongside apples, zinnias, wagon rides and—as a bonus for the grown-ups—a beer garden located right in the sunflower patch. Its annual Apple & Sunflower Fest typically runs on selected weekends around Labor Day and into early September.
Admission includes a sunflower maze, zinnia walk, photo opportunities, games, a train ride to the fields and a quarter-peck bag for picking apples. U-pick flower buckets are available separately. The farm is cashless, so this is one place where leaving only bills in your pocket will not help. Basse’s is along County Q near Highway 164, between Germantown and the Holy Hill area.
Old Homestead Orchard, Franksville
7814 Raynor Avenue
Franksville, WI 53126
(262) 895-6747
Website
Old Homestead Orchard deserves a prominent entry based on size alone. Its 2026 fall season included a 10-acre sunflower maze and an eight-acre U-pick sunflower area containing more than 20 varieties. Add apples, pumpkins, a café, bakery treats, a gift store and family activities, and you have considerably more than a quick flower-field photo stop.
The orchard is east of I-94 near the Seven Mile Road exit, making it especially easy to reach from Racine, Milwaukee or Kenosha. Its season extends later than many Wisconsin sunflower fields, running into the fall—but always check the farm’s current bloom report before assuming the flowers will still be standing.
Flora Fields, Kohler
1271 Highland Drive
Kohler, WI 53044
Website
Flora Fields offers a later-season version of the sunflower experience. Its fall display includes 11 sunflower varieties, U-cut flowers, a nine-acre corn maze, live music, a hay fort, food, drinks, games and plenty of photo opportunities.
The 2026 fall season runs Fridays through Sundays from September 4 through November 1, although flower conditions naturally change as the season progresses. Flora Fields is close to Highways 23 and 28 and only a few minutes west of I-43, making it an easy addition to a Sheboygan or Kohler road trip.
Schuster’s Farm, Deerfield
1326 U.S. Highway 12 & 18
Deerfield, WI 53531
Website
Schuster’s offers more than a conventional field of yellow. Its Blooms on the Farm experience combines sunflowers with zinnias, cosmos, marigolds and other flowers, creating long rows of different colors and textures. Wagon rides, playground areas, music on selected days and baby goats turn the trip into a broader family outing.
The flower season generally takes place on selected Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in August. You’ll find Schuster’s right along U.S. 12/18 east of Madison, with Highway 73 passing nearby through Deerfield.
Jaquish Farms Sunflower Maze, Eau Claire
W5725 State Trunk Highway 85
Eau Claire, WI 54701
(715) 559-6370
Website
Not only a working farm but also a mission, Jaquish Farms originally opened their sunflower field and maze as Babbette’s Seeds of Hope which salutes their family matriarch, who passed away in 2014 after a nearly 9-year battle with cancer. Today, their mission is to support cancer patients dealing with cancer treatments, as well as funding and promoting research through Joshua’s Camp. A visit to Jaquish Farms Sunflower Maze yields two large fields of beautiful sunflowers right along Highway 85 southwest of Eau Claire, with the hills in the distance and even the view of the Silver Mine Ski Jump across the Chippewa River. The fields are open for visitors 11am-6pm for $25/carload or $10/person, with proceeds going to support Joshua’s Camp.
Auburndale School Forest, Auburndale
10704 Park Avenue
Auburndale, WI 54412
Website
Tens of thousands of sunflowers are in bloom near Auburndale High School in Wood County for your viewing pleasure, in the Auburndale School District’s farm and forest. It serves as a fundraiser for Toys For Tots, so while admission is free it is highly encouraged that you drop a donation in the box on your way in or out. You’ll find it just north of the U.S. 10/Highway 13 expressway via County N. On the way, you’ll cross Main Street, the original path of U.S. 10.
Sopa Fairview Farm, Amherst
8290 Old Amish Road
Amherst, WI 54406
Website
This family farm dates back to 1893 and in late August their approximately 500,000 sunflowers bloom across the beautiful acres of central Wisconsin. They usually report buds popping around August 10th, so their peak should be from August 20th into mid September. Plan accordingly!
Perlick Distillery Farm, Sarona
W5150 County Highway B
Sarona, WI 54870
(715) 939-9565
Website
The 2,000-acre Perlick Farm has been around for over a century; in 2004, the family added the Perlick Distillery. And on top of that, Perlick Farms also plants acres of sunflowers people can come and enjoy in the late summer. They’re past peak right now, but should still be lovely for a few more weeks. You’ll find Perlick Farms and the sunflowers (and the distillery, should you be interested) along County Highway B just north of Sarona, a few miles east of the U.S. 53 freeway and a few more miles east of U.S. 63 just north of Shell Lake, all in Washburn County.
Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center, Newton
7001 Gass Lake Road
Manitowoc, WI 54220
(920) 726-6000
Website
The Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center is right along I-43 between Sheboygan and Manitowoc at the County C/Newton exit (Exit #144.) The facility always offers great insight to Wisconsin’s farms and farming community, but in late summer the land adjacent also offers seas of sunflowers. The sunflower field is now closed, but the corn maze remains if you want to have some fun there!
Eugster’s Farm Market & Petting Farm, Stoughton
3865 State Trunk Highway 138 West
Stoughton, WI 53589
(608) 873-3822
Website
Located just outside Stoughton in southern Dane County along Highway 138, Eugster’s is a 349-acre farm that offers a 15-acre petting farm for kids and a market for everybody with fresh produce like muskmelons and sweet corn throughout the growing season. They also offer quite the corn maze (covering 8 acres) and a fun, spooky haunted house during Halloween. In August and September, the sunflowers pop up – sometimes half a million of them! – and Eugster’s celebrates with a Sunflower Days event. That’s already happened this year, but thousands and thousands of sunflowers will remain until… well, until they don’t. Check it out any weekday except Tuesday, between 10am and 5pm. Admission is $10 per person, but that also includes the farm market and the animal petting zoo.
Bergsbaken Farms, Cecil
W2095 County Road E
Cecil, WI 54111
(715) 853-6533
Facebook Page
Bergsbaken offers numerous walking trails through its expansive, staggered sunflower fields along with a viewing platform and U-pick flowers.

Menomonee Falls, WI 53051
(414) 803-1542
Website
Facebook Page
Part of Otter Creek Farms LLC, Lannon Sunflower Farm offers a U-Pick option as well as a maze you can navigate in the midst of these colorful beauties. It’s a good (and more efficient) place to bring the whole family, especially since they charge by carload instead of by the person. $20 admission gets you in – cash only – and you can pick up to 12 “U-Pick” Sunflowers to take home. Lannon Sunflower Farm is now open 7am – 7pm daily through Labor Day. They’re in Menomonee Falls on Lannon Road, accessible via I-41/U.S. 45 or Highway 175 if you head south about 2-3 miles via Lannon Road or west 2-3 miles via Menomonee Avenue (depending on which direction you’re coming from.) From the west, you can use Highway 164 and head east via Plainview Road to County V, and then east on Menomonee Avenue.
Oh, and here’s a tidbit: the land across the street from the farm was once a NIKE missile site!
Jelli’s Market, Helenville
N5648 S. Farmington Road
Helenville, WI 53137
(262) 593-5133
Website
Jelli’s features roadside stands in Johnson Creek near Culver’s, in Watertown by Ace Hardware, and in Wales at the corner of Hwy 83 and 18, but back at “headquarters” they offer a lot all year. That includes picking of blueberries, raspberries, and even green beans depending on the time of year. But in August and September, the sunflowers come out to play! For $5/person – except for children 4 and under, they’re free – they let you do photography sessions (or Instagramming, whatever you wanna call it), plus you can pick one sunflower to take home. Additional sunflowers can be picked and taken for an additional dollar per flower.
