Lake’s Sunflower Field open for a second year, providing a summer family fun destination

Lake’s Sunflower Field is open for the 2024 season! The flowers are absolutely gorgeous and there are loads of photo opportunities along the paths through the 6-acre sunflower field located at 10965 Norfield Road, Norwich, Ohio.

Bring your family and make memories amongst the flowers! Admission is $5 a person (infants are free) and sunflowers can be picked for an additional charge per stem. Pre-selected stems are also available to purchase and take home.

Owners Craig and Jen Lake opened the Sunflower Field on their family farm last year with the goal being to bring something different to the farm and the community.

“My favorite part is the excitement of the people that come! I love hearing the kids get excited and the multiple smiles and enjoyment of the people!” stated Jen.

“Since last year we made some changes to improve the experience! We got new props (egg chairs, child peacock chair, and more!) and designed better paths”, Jen explained. “The sunflowers are also planted differently for a better experience for all. We planted them in two waves again and split it down the middle (right and left), so there would be a nice front view for a while. We also did a small front area of colorful sunflowers.”

The Lakes are also offering small events at the sunflower field. The first two are right around the corner on July 27 and July 29. The first is a Craft in the Sunflowers event and the other, Pin-up Polaroids, is a collaboration with a local photographer and artist Carrie Turner. Just this past Tuesday, the Lake family brought their goats, dogs, a draft horse, and more to the sunflowers for a special Animal Night event. Be sure to stay up-to-date on all the special events taking place at Lake’s Sunflower Field by following their Facebook page.

The Sunflower Field welcomes leashed well-behaved pets. A picture with your furry friend surrounded by the beauty of the flowers is more than Instagram-worthy, it will be a picture you will want in your home or office for sure! Photographers are also invited to the field. Entry rates for professional photographers is $10 an hour or $25 for the day.

Lake’s Sunflower Field is open weekdays from 4 pm- 8:30 p.m. and weekends from noon to 8:30 p.m.
