With summer just around the corner and Buffalonians knee deep in spring's magnificent weather, there's never been a better time to start planning a trip to one of Western New York's charming farms. All around the Queen City, our residents can find themselves within a quick drive from destinations like fruit farms that make amazing pies to lavender farms that provide aromatic adventures unlike any other. If you're ready to add one more darling farm to your Rolodex of delightful day trips, then keep reading to learn about this amazing sunflower farm near us.

After dealing with temporarily being shut down due to new zoning ordinances, the Sunflowers of Sanborn farm has happily announced that they will once again be open for visitors this summer.

Taking you only a half-hour north to the small town of Sanborn, the Sunflowers of Sanborn has a charming story.

Starting off as a family's attempt to grow their own sunflowers, the farm has transformed into a family-favorite attraction for all Western New Yorkers to enjoy.

Planting hundreds of thousands of sunflowers each year, the Sunflowers of Sanborn is far from your typical field.

Most people picture fields of bright yellow when they think of sunflower farms...

...but here at Sunflowers of Sanborn, you can find everything from Ring of Fire, Strawberry Blonde, Zohar, Red, and Autumn Beauty sunflowers all growing.

Transforming their land into more than just sunflowers, once you arrive at Sunflowers of Sanborn you'll see why so many people love making the drive to this place.

Not only can you walk amongst a sea of sunflowers and pick your own flowers in designated areas, but there are also other attractions on-site as well.

Aside from their cafe and creamery where you can grab food, snacks, and drinks, the farm also features an area where you can do some treasure hunting.

After buying a bag of 'dirt' you'll empty out your bag and start to sift through the sediment to discover your own gems!

Soon to be announcing their summer schedule of fun events that they have in store, follow the Sunflowers of Sanborn on Facebook to stay up to date on what's to come this year!

If you've previously visited the farm before, you'll be happy to hear that the Brachmann family has been planning to further improve this experience for all those who come. Adding hundreds of additional parking spaces, an overflow lot, and a new system to make things flow to their fullest — this year is predicted to be better than ever!
