Now that it is August, summertime in Minnesota is starting its slow fade into autumn. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of opportunities to take in what remains of the sunshine and warmth. One great place to do this is at a little-known place called Sunflower Ranch. It’s in Big Lake, Minnesota, and it has welcomed visitors to its annual Sunflower Fest since 2018. This year, the sunflower celebration continues in mid-August, when the field opens to visitors once again. Read on below to learn the details of visiting this gorgeous sunflower field in 2020:
Sunflower Ranch is a 1-acre sunflower farm in Big Lake, Minnesota. It’s about 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis, making it a great day trip destination for many Minnesotans.
