Summer makes everything seem brighter, and visiting the beautiful sunflower farms around New Jersey is one activity that feels so happy. When you pick sunflowers or hang out in a field, you can’t help but soak up their good vibes. Luckily, New Jersey is home to a bunch of sunflower farms where you can bliss out from July into September (check with each farm to find out their peak blooming time). And while most let you pick stems, there are a few fields solely for snapping insta-worthy photos or getting lost in a maze among the blooms. Scroll down for the best sunflowers in NJ, and make sure to check out our pick-your-own guide for fruits, veggies, and flowers. (featured photo credit: @imgoingonannaventure)
