Capture Summer at These Missouri Sunflower Fields

Before we get lost in corn mazes, haunted woods and hayrides, make sure you venture out to any of the Missouri sunflower farm locations.

These beauties stand like sentries over our backyard garden

The sunflowers we planted in our backyard have been blooming for several weeks, but in the world of big popping sunflowers they are definitely junior varsity. They are tall, but they are only a little bigger around than a baseball. Luckily there are several places in Missouri to enjoy big friendly sunflowers this season.
