Mary's Land Farm

We had my daughter's 10th birthday party here and it was our first time here. They had extended their Sunflower Festival, so that was a nice treat. The staff is incredibly friendly and Maria really went out of her way for my daughter and her friends. The only down side was, it being our first time, we had no clue where to go or how things worked. The farm is HUGE, so if you don't know where to go, it can be a bit stressful. We didn't really know where to go or how things worked, but again, Maria was extremely helpful and very professional and polite. She gave me her phone number, so whenever we needed guidance, I was able to reach out to her directly. It's absolutely beautiful, and there is so much to do. I would just recommend getting there an hour earlier if you've never been there before and are hosting a birthday party. That way you can get someone to be your point of contact, find out where to go and setup, and know where all the diff events are so you can host your party accordingly.

Disappointing experience! Recently got tickets to the sunflower festival held by Mary's Land Farm, and was looking forward to the event. I have to say I was very disappointed. For claiming to be a festival it was sad to see that there were only a handful of stands and things to do at the "festival." I would say if your looking for a place to go where they will have a variety of options choose somewhere else. The food trucks while I was there consisted of a singular "snack truck" that had limited options. Along with this I only saw a handful of tents or vendors one of which was just 3d printed things that anyone could make. As for the staff of the event I am not sure if they were volunteers or if they were being paid to be there but they didn't offer very much information about anything. For the sunflower picking I went to check in at the tent they had available and I was told go get a pair of clippers and that is all, they didn't even mention where the clippers were I had to find them on my own. They didn't not tell us how many flowers we could pick or the fact that anything over two would be extra. I can understand charging for picking flowers and have no issues with that, however I think they should have a sign at the check-in stating the price per flower. The sunflowers themselves seemed to be almost completely picked through, half of the fields were empty and a couple of them were trampled which was very unfortunate. This is just my opinion so take it as you will but as a customer I think it would be a better option for them to limit which fields of sunflowers can be picked for each weekend of the festival that way all of their paying customers have the option to get some nice flowers instead of the people who could only make it the last weekend kind of getting screwed.

Have had two very disappointing experiences with the farm. First was a few months ago when the family and I signed up for the cow cuddling. There was a group before us who was given extra time, so we were rushed by the time we finally got to see the calves. The second experience was the sunflow festival. Incredibly upsetting. It was like they threw together one last day to make more money. The fields had been picked clean, there were only two food trucks, and about 3 vendors. There was virtually nothing to do unless you were playing on the playground. We recognize it was the last day of the festival, but why not limit the amount of flowers people can pick the first weekend, or even section off certain areas to ensure there are enough flowers for the second weekend. The parking was terrible, they made you park by the entrance even though there was parking in front of the farm store. And no one actually warned you that if you picked more than 2 flowers, you were being charged. Signs everywhere to indicate farm store, where the flowers were, where bathrooms were, where the petting zoo was, but they couldn't put up a sign about charging for flowers? Don't scam your customers. Be upfront about the cost of the flowers (and actually have decent flowers). The last complaint is how they treat the petting zoo animals. The bunnies were in cages smalled than themselves. Zero room to hop around. How dare they treat an animal like that. The chickens got to roam free around the entire property but the bunnies were caged up, unable to even spread their legs. Don't support this farm. They are abusing their animals and scamming their customers.

Sunflower Festival was beautiful. So much fun, great place to get away from the city, clip sunflowers, they had frames to take pictures, a petting farm, food vendors, and be able to purchase farm-fresh goods. Everything you need for a beautiful day whether with family, kids, or date night.

Lets start with the positives, we went for the sunflower festival. 🌻 *Super kid friendly (if I had kids I would bring them immediately) *Clean and plenty of restrooms *Very friendly staff *Amazing store *Fantastic parking *Some good craft vendors *Plenty of animals! The negatives, for adults there is not much to do. Not many vendors or food spots (again plenty for the kids) I did not know a bloom is one sunflower. (I learned something new) so my expectations kind of fell when it was only one flower included with the ticket. But then the selection of sunflowers was not to great. I wouldnt come here for the sunflowers as an adult with no kids or for a date either. They also had gorgeous fig trees, I think its a beautiful nursery!! Just was disappointed in the sunflower selection. Im not sure the ticket price fit the value.

Loved the sunflower festival and had a great day out! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Don’t skip getting feed cups for the animals. Only 4 stars because there were no food trucks the day we went (July 19) and the offerings in the food tent were almost non-existent. We had been looking forward to eating there, but just went to a local restaurant after. Still highly recommend.

We've stayed at Mary's Land Farm multiple times, and the experience has been delightful every time. The rooms are very comfortable, quiet, and come with amenities you won't find elsewhere (heated bathroom floors). The breakfasts have variety, and the hosts are very careful not to include my allergens (dairy and gluten). Sitting on the front porch in the rocking chairs and listening to the birds is a rare treat. I'd highly recommend Mary's Land Farm!
