What better way to spend a summer day than to navigate through a field lush with beautiful, multi-colored sunflowers! (The flowers are ornamental sunflowers, without pollen to attract bees or stir up allergies.) You'll enjoy a bird's eye view of our maze from our viewing platform, and from the peaks of the surrounding orchard hillsides.
