Trent Jonas came to Minnesota to attend college - and never left. He's a Twin Cities-based writer with a BA in English and a MFA in creative writing, a Minnesota Master Naturalist, and the proud father of two adult children. With more than a decade of freelance writing experience under his belt, Trent is often out exploring his favorite topics: Minnesota's woods, lakes, and trails. Rhubarb pie is his weakness, so discovering new diners is also a passion.
As summer starts to wind down, one of the best ways to hang onto some sunshine is with a fresh bouquet of sunflowers. Sure, you could just pick them up at a florist, but I say why not make an adventure of it and head out to a gorgeous spot, like Fresh Acres Farm, where you can pick your own sunflowers in Minnesota!
Fresh Acres Farm is located near the community of Monticello, Minnesota, between the Twin Cities metro area and St. Cloud.
Although the farm doesn't charge admission to its sunflower fields, it does ask for a small donation to help defray its costs. A pay box for cash is located on-site, or you can use Venmo or Cash App to pay for the flowers that you cut and to make a donation.
Fresh Acres Farm is also committed to ensuring that folks with mobility issues can come out and enjoy time on the property.
Toward the end of sunflower season, the farm is gearing up for its fall harvest events. There are activities, games, rides, and all sorts of fun things for the whole family - even a corn maze!
And, of course, you can pick up your pumpkin(s) while you're there.
Fresh Acres Farm is a perennial favorite agritainment destination for folks in the Twin Cities and throughout central Minnesota. I think a visit to Fresh Acres Farm makes part of an awesome fall weekend getaway when combined with a stay at nearby Lake Maria State Park or a local vacation rental.
