We recently mentioned the sunflower field at Apple Annie’s, but it isn’t the only one to be found in Arizona! Buckeye’s Rocker 7 Farm Patch boasts a whopping 75,000 bright yellow sunflowers in its field, and peak blooming season is upon us.
A working farm in Buckeye, Rocker 7 Farm Patch seeks to educate children and adults alike about not only just the benefits of eating fresh, local produce, but also the ins and outs of agriculture as a whole.

In normal times, the farm holds a fall festival complete with a pumpkin patch, corn maze, petting zoo, miniature train, and a slew of other festive activities the whole family can enjoy. Unfortunately, 2020 has thrown a wrench in the plans for this season.
Facebook/Rocker 7 Farm Patch Virtual farm tours are being held this year in lieu of in-person visits. The interactive online experiences are a close second, although nothing compares to picking out the perfect pumpkin to display on your front porch.
All isn’t lost, however - guests can still frolic through the iconic u-pick sunflower field! It will be open from Friday, October 16 through Sunday, November 15.

To add a little cheer to these uncertain times we’re living in, the farm planted a whopping 75,000 sunflower seeds in hopes of creating the biggest, most vibrant field yet.
