Picked the perfect sunflower over at Alvis Farms on Monday! š»š„°
Have you ever seen 50 acres worth of sunflowers? Cause thatās what you can find at Alvis Farms and it will 1000% take your breath away. š
This was my first time going here and I was absolutely in awe of the views and already know Iāll be back next year. The 3rd Annual Sunflower Festival at Alvis Farms is running now through Sunday August 8th, so thereās still time to join the fun today 5-8pm or Sat and Sun 9am-8pm. š¤© The tickets for this event are only $8/person which even includes 1 stem to take home!
After entering the farm, I first completed the sunflower maze which had a ton of scavenger hunt items and did-you-know facts scattered throughoutā¦all the kids had a blast!
Next, I ran over to Memphis (a very pregnant momma cow and State Fair winner) and Reeve who were SO stinkinā adorable. š
Then, I headed to the Pick Your Own Patch where I found the perfect sunflower that now sits in my kitchenš»š I recommend bringing pruning shears and wearing closed toed shoes if you plan to pick your own.āļø The wonderful farm employees even bagged and wrapped my stem with a wet towel so it lasted until I got home.
Of course, I had to get some photos of the massive sunflower field before leaving (this spot would make such a perfect location for a family photo op)! As you head out, you can check out the gift vendors and pre-cut stems for purchase under the tents. The farm also has rotating food and dessert trucks daily that serve bites and treats in case you get hungry which I appreciated. š Alvis Farms is local and family-owned and Iām happy I learned about them from @sweetsauceblog and got to support them this week. š From everything Iāve seen, they are an amazing farm that strives to educate the community and keep Goochland rural. Call me educated! Did I mention they donate a portion of the proceeds back to various community groups? š Only 3 more days to join the Sunflower Festival at Alvis Farmsā¦whatāre you waiting for?!
