Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Indiana.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained; berry juice and field mud travel home with you.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Amazing people running a fabulous business 💯 The guy was so informative, kind, professional and answered all my questions happily! Best Customer Service I've experienced in a long time!!!💯 Good prices, awesome selection, amazing photo opportunities and games for everyone!!! Parking was a breeze. Loads of space for everyone! The little touches, like the children's baskets for the lil shoppers, was so sweet 😁 We will be returning often!!! Ask them about renting out the flower field for private pictures 🙌 You will NOT regret visiting this pumpkin patch !🎃💐🍅”
“Finally made it to this place. It's even more wonderful than I expected. Thousands of sunflowers, wildflowers, dahlias, daisies, foxglove, zinnias, oh my! My son fell in love with the amazing assortment of lisianthus. Definitely recommend this place. The property owners are so kind as well. Very affordable bouquets, produce, vases, ect. Beautiful surroundings and just all around whimisical and peaceful.”
“A hidden gem in SW Fort Wayne! Our family LOVED the sunflower maze and giant field of cosmos. So many fun photo opps and games too (flower checkers, pumpkin tic tac toe, corn hole, giant connect 4). We spent an hour and a half just enjoying the flowers but could have stayed longer. We will be making this a new end of summer/start of fall tradition!”
“Fun little spot where you can pick as many of the flowers as you can fit into your container. Lots of different varieties to pick from. The pictures don't do it justice. The vase full of flowers was probably about half of what we got.”
“Love this place! Super well organized and the flowers and pumpkins are gorgeous. The owner is quick with tips to get your flowers to last longer, etc. Will definitely be a regular customer!”
“I had a lot of fun looking at and picking the flowers grown here! There are many photo opps and they had a section for pumpkins being sold for decent prices.”
“Great value, friendly owners, bountiful selection, and an old-time family experience. Bring the kids. They will love it.”
“Neve knew this place was there. Will definitely be back. Had a great time!!!!!”
