Give your fresh-picked zinnias a gorgeous second life! Exclusively at our Watermelon & Lavender Festival, you can turn your vibrant blooms into a stunning, long-lasting garland.
How to craft:
Grab a Take-Home Kit to craft later once your vase flowers start to dry.

Craft on the Farm (Highly recommended!): Grab an ice-cold drink from the bar, claim a picnic table, and get crafting while listening to live music.

Because zinnias dry so beautifully, you’ll be able to enjoy these vibrant farm vibes in your home long after the festival is over. See you this weekend! 🌸✨

Every weekend of our Watermelon & Lavender Festival is filled to the brim with:

- Farm-fresh watermelon (including yellow!)

- Tractor rides & Live music

- U-pick flowers

- Delicious local food
.. And so much more!

While you’re enjoying the summer heat, our minds are already on crisp autumn days! 🍂
We are hard at work tilling the fields, setting up drip irrigation, and planting this year’s corn maze and marigolds.
It takes months of looking ahead to make our fall season magic happen. Who’s already excited for the corn maze this year? 🌽

A 4th of July surprise that’s 5,000 years in the making... 😱🍉

Meet our Golden Sweet Yellow Watermelon! If you haven't tried a yellow melon yet, this holiday weekend is the perfect time!

Quick History Lesson: Ancient watermelons grown thousands of years ago were actually yellow inside, not red! The yellow color is entirely natural, powered by beta-carotene (hello, antioxidants!), giving it an extra-sweet flavor. It’s crisp, juicy, seedless, and ready to be the star of your holiday cookout.

REMINDER: We are open Thursday & Friday (10:30-5:00) but will be CLOSED this Saturday and Sunday, July 4th & 5th! Come grab your weekend treats today or tomorrow! 🇺🇸✨

You’ve been waiting patiently, and we have a major 4th of July surprise for you, our iconic watermelon are back!Pick you...

You’ve been waiting patiently, and we have a major 4th of July surprise for you, our iconic watermelon are back!

We want to make sure you're stocked up for the holiday, so come see us this Thursday & Friday from 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM. We will be CLOSED Saturday, July 4th & Sunday, July 5th for Independence Day. See you soon! 🇺🇸
