Full Yellow
Late August through the second week of September
The heart of sunflower season. This is the time of year when the farm feels completely open, alive, and overflowing with summer.
Most sections of the sunflower maze are in bloom at once — golden walls of flowers stretching toward the tidal river, wildflowers dancing in the breeze, bees drifting lazily between blossoms, and eagles soaring overhead while the tide quietly changes the landscape below.
And yes — we have plenty to borrow.
Full-Yellow has quietly become a late-summer tradition for many families. One last chance to gather everyone together before school starts, routines return, and life begins pulling people back in different directions again.
Bring the grandparents. Bring the cousins.
Bring the people you’ve been meaning to spend more time with.
Pack a meal. Stay for hours. Wander slowly.
Follow the maze map and trivia trails, stop for photos tucked throughout the flowers, play disc golf or soccer croquet, hunt for rocks along the paths, sketch in the shade, write poetry in the field, or simply sit and listen to the wind moving through the sunflowers.
Art is encouraged here. Wings are optional. (We have some to borrow, too.)
Children run free in the open field until they’re completely tired out. Couples reconnect over sunset walks. Great-grandparents watch generations of family laughing together in one place. Cameras fill with muddy boots, golden-hour portraits, kite strings, flower petals, and memories people hold onto long after summer fades.
Some evenings, if the timing is right, you may even catch the hay show next door — tractors rolling through the neighbouring fields as the boys bring in the hay beneath the late-summer sky.
A golf cart is available to help guests reach some of the best flowers and views across the farm.
Full-Yellow is beautiful on its own, but many visitors turn it into a slow late-summer day trip through the tidal river communities nearby. It’s the kind of drive that feels unhurried in the best way — tidal river views, roadside stops, small communities, and windows down with the smell of late summer in the air.
