1: during summer
2: pollinators!!
3: teen hunting for the perfect sunflower today
The whole village is obsessed & rightfully so. A very small part of their field is used but a huge area of sunflowers and mixed color zinnia. The fields are swarming with pollinators.
It’s brightened everyone’s summer/fall, too. Teenagers swarmed the fields on homecoming night which was just so adorably wholesome. My friend drove by, saw the signs and decided to stop and pick a bouquet for his momma. Tonight I stopped and my oldest (teenager) picked a bouquet for my Grandma. Grandma was so delighted. She drove by and thought about stopping but didn't have enough time. Hundreds of groups have picked bouquets and you can't even tell – there's that many.

US Midwest. Not my farm but a local one I completely adore & finally stopped at today.
Detail in the post itself, but basically a local farm set aside part of their crop field (monoculture). The pollinators are *thriving. * Everyone in town is beyond tickled. At first we were all delighted by how beautiful it is but then! Then we found out it’s u-pick and absolutely free. Farm even has parking so folk can pull off the high-traffic back road safely.
This is super wholesome! Love it!
this is such a cute idea!!
