Sunflower season in Orlando happens twice a year at Florida farms, usually during fall and spring (mother nature willing). When the yellow flower opens and blooms, farmers delight locals with sunflower pickup, sunflower you-pick, and stunning photo opportunities.

Sunflower picking tips:

• Most farms communicate the status of their crops through Facebook. Check each farm’s Facebook page for sunflower availability, hours of operation, and any cost for entry.
• Not all of the farms listed here have sunflowers in bloom right now — that all depends on the soil, Mother Nature, and a little bit of farmer’s luck. But all of the farms listed grow (or have grown) sunflowers in Central Florida.
• Dress comfortably, and sensibly (you are visiting a real, working farm). Wear closed-toe shoes, hats, and sunscreen.
• Be aware that there may be insects at these farms, so if members of your family are allergic to insects such as bees, take precautions.
