I have been wanting to go to a sunflower farm for ages! We have always just been busy and missed going. But this summer we managed to make it just in time, on one of the last days that the sunflowers were in bloom.
We had seen this farm on Facebook, and some of my friends had visited. The farm is in Westerlo, which is about 35-40 minutes southwest of Albany, NY.
I used Google Maps to get there. The farm is located in Westerlo and I had not been out this way before, but had no problem finding it.
The farm is right on the road with signs out front, so we spotted it right away.
There are cut sunflowers available for purchase out by the road as well.
There are some rules posted next to the parking lot.
The sunflower field is right next to the parking lot, and you don’t have to walk to get there.
The sunflower fields are only in bloom for about 3 weeks in August. We have missed this opportunity several times before because we were just too busy or not in town.
When we went, it was one of the last few days of the season. As you can see, the sunflowers are starting to droop a little bit.
There were lots of bees there, so if you are not a fan of bees or you have kids, just be aware to expect it.
There are a couple spots you can use for photo opportunities as well.
The farm does not have a website, but you can check out their Facebook page for information and updates. If you plan on visiting the sunflower fields, I would check the Facebook page before heading out, as things can change depending on weather and other factors.
Those endless fields of sunflowers look so impressive. I’m sure this was a lovely trip.
Gorgeous. I just love going to see sunflowers. I hope we can do that at some point.
This must have been amazing. I would love to go visit a sunflower farm. It must have been so pretty to see so many of them in one place.
That is an amazing place to visit. I love sunflowers and I would have to buy some there.
I would love to check this out, this looks like the perfect photo opportunity.
Wow those sunflowers are amazing! What a great place to take pictures!!
Sunflower fields are usually beautiful, but this place is amazing!
It’s really a nice scenery. I love sunflower amongst all the kind of flowers
Farms like this are so fun to visit. It’s so relaxing to look at.
The beauty in sunflower field is breathtaking and is to be experienced and captured by everyone
So glad you had the opportunity to go this year 🙂 you got some gorgeous photos!!
I love sunflowers! I used to live in upstate New York and waterloo is so gorgeous! These photos are perfection!
Those sunflowers are breathtaking! There’s just something so peaceful about them. I love all of the photos.
This looks so beautiful! I love sunflowers but have never been to a sunflower farm. Gorgeous photos, hun 👌🏻
Sunflowers always cheer me up, no matter how I am feeling.. they are like a burst of energy .. I have never been to a sunflower farm yet.. the closest thing for me is a front yard in our area where they have about two dozen or more of sunflowers planted.. it is delightful
I’ve been trying to find a sunflower field near us and I don’t think they exist, sadly! I would love to take my girls. I know they would love it!
Awesome points such a beautiful full post, thanks for sharing this post.
This looks so pretty! My mom was just talking about trying to find a sunflower farm this past weekend. Not sure I could go since I am terrified of bees, but she would love it!
Sunflower farms seem like a lot of fun…especially around this time of year. One of these days, I hope to find myself close to one. I’m sure my son would love it. My wife, maybe not so much because of bees.
What a beautiful place and scenery. That definitely looks like my kind of happy place! We have a sunflower field at our local PYO and it is such a lovely experience visiting it.
Our family has been there too. It is such a neat place to visit. I am also from Upstate New York and this is a must-stop.
Oh wow that places look so amazing. I had no idea there was a Sunflower farm in the US, like this. I will have to tell my mom, she LOVE sunflowers, and would love this place.
We’ve got some local places that have sunflower farms but I’ve still not been, they look so pretty x
Wow! As far as I can remember, I haven’t seen a real and huge sunflowers as these!
Oh, wow! I would love to take the kids there! Golden Acres is just the kind of place we love to visit as a family.
This is such a fun idea! When I was younger, my mom used to tell me that when she passed on – she thinks she would come back as a sunflower. I always thought that was such a sweet sentiment.
Oh, this place looks wonderful! When I was a child, we had a sunflower field, and I loved it when the sunflowers were blooming. All these photos are amazing!
Such a stunning looking sunflower farm and I wish it was here so I could go and take photos there. Loving all your photos!
What a beautiful display and seeing that field just makes me smile 😉 I absolutely love sunflowers and would love to visit this farm. Thanks for sharing and will look to make a trip here next year 😉
That is really quite lovely to see all those sunflowers. I went to a similar place but it was all tulips.
We have a sunflower farm where I am at too. Thank you for reminding me I need to visit!
The flowers are so beautiful, such a gorgeous and relaxing place!
I love visiting sunflower farms.. It always put me in awe.. I was able to visit i think a couple of sunflower farms before the pandemic and i do miss those flaces. This, however, is bigger than those i have visited. Wow! Those are really picture worthy sunflower fields 🌻🌻❤️❤️
I’ve been seeing them a lot on social media. They are so cool! you got some really great pics of the one you got to go see.
Pictures with sunflowers, that’s amazing. The fields look awesome with the sky being cloudy. Thank you for sharing!
The farm is pretty as it is but the sunflower makes it so much more pretty! I wouldn’t hesitate visiting it, in a heart-beat!
Such an awesome place! There are so many sunflowers and I am really amazed about this farm!! I hope I can be able to visit something like this too.
