  • Tag your sunflower friend – the one who brings warmth, optimism, and joy into your life! 🌻🦋 

We loved spending golden hour in Aubie Smith Farms’ sunflower fields, and their butterfly release made the experience even more magical. Watching dozens of butterflies take flight and dance around the blooms is a memory we’ll never forget.

While tickets for the July 25 butterfly release are sold out, the farm still welcomes guests to witness as the next kaleidoscope fills the sky. Thanks to the sea of sunflowers, many of the butterflies stick around, giving visitors the chance to see them up close. 

Also, don’t miss U-pick season and the opportunity for fun photos! For $20, you can fill a bucket with as many blooms as you like. Just check the farm’s website for daily hours before you visit.
