Sunflower U-Pick Orchards in Southern Rhode Island in 2025, by county

Below are the U-Pick orchards and farms for sunflowers that we know of in this area.

Not all areas of a state have sunflowers farms that are open to the public. If you know of any others, please tell us using the add a farm form!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! If I cannot reach them, I DON'T GO!

  Comments from a visitor on September 02, 2009: " has wonderful strawberries (June and July) and blueberries. They are not organic, but they don't use pesticides. Watch out for the occasional poison ivy plant in the blueberries. We've not tried the PYO lettuce and flowers. The farmstand has delicious corn, also pesticide-free (ie, occasional cornworm). We've been going there for ten years. Our kids love the donkeys and goats."

Sunflowers

Sunflower Picking Tips, and Information

Sunflowers are a mid-to late summer crop. They need warm soil and full sun.  In most areas, expect sungflowers to be available starting in June, and sometimes continuing into August.  It really depends on when the farmer plants them, the variety and local weather conditions. Farms that offer U-pick or pick-your-own sunflowers are becoming more common.

• Once picked, quickly get the stems into water
• Get them out of the hot sun after picking to increase shelf life.  Cool shade is best.
• Re-cut stems while underwater - once you get home. Making a fresh cut, while the cut end is submerged helps the stem to take up water and avoid a vapor lock.
