Sunflowers are in full bloom here in the Capital Region! If you’ve never had a chance to visit a Sunflower field, you should definitely add it to your end of Summer bucket list. Last summer, I had the opportunity to visit Herrington’s Farm in Buskirk & I got some super pretty photos. I don’t think they allow dogs this year (only takes a couple bad pet owners – pick up your dog’s poop!!), but last year I was able to bring my pup Gunnar, and his pics were featured front & center on my Christmas card last December!
Support a local farm this summer before the Sunflowers are gone. Below is a list of locations where you can get your Instagram worthy photos:
