How do the fields look today?

When does U-Pick Tulip season begin?

Spring is our most unpredictable season, as everything depends on the whims of Mother Nature. Typically, our tulip fields bloom in early to mid-April, but during colder springs, the season may start later in the month. Once the blooms begin, the season lasts around three weeks, though this can vary based on weather conditions.
Embrace the beauty of spring’s unpredictability—it’s part of what makes tulip season so special!

When is peak bloom?

Peak bloom shifts from season to season, influenced by planting dates and the ever-changing weather. To stay in the know, we recommend checking our Field Report page or following us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates, photos, and real-time information. These resources will help you plan your visit for the most vibrant views of the season!

How do I pick the tulips?

We have a step-by-step guide on how we pick tulips here - Tulip Picking Guide

What do we put our flowers in once we pick them?

We have buckets you may borrow for tulip season but you may bring your own. If you want a basket to take pictures with in the field, you have to bring your own. They do last long with the amount of people handling them during our season so we transitioned to having only buckets.

Yes, we have portable restrooms at the farm. Restrooms are sanitized regularly and cleaned out twice weekly.

How long can I stay?

Once you arrive, you may stay as long as you like until we close the fields.

Are you handicap accessible?

We understand that accessibility is an important consideration, and the ease of visiting really depends on the individual’s capabilities and the nature of their specific needs.
As a working farm, we do not have paved surfaces. Parking is on gravel and a grass field, and the flowers are spread across open acres of farmland. Terrain can be uneven, bumpy, or, depending on recent weather, wet, soft, or muddy in spots. Additionally, the proximity of the flower fields to the check-in area varies by season and crop rotation. Sometimes the flowers are nearby, but other times they may require a walk from the entrance.
To accommodate visitors, we ask if you ask an employee in the parking area to assist you to park close to the entrance to the field.
We are continually exploring ways to improve accessibility, so everyone can enjoy the beauty of our tulip fields. We recommend assessing your unique needs before visiting and feel free to reach out to us for any specific questions or assistance.

Do you have vases for sale?

Yes, we usually have a great assortment of reasonably priced vases for sale in our check out area.

Where do I buy tickets?

You can find tickets through our ticket page - TICKETS
Tickets are sometimes only released a week at a time depending on the weather.

Are Tickets refundable?

All ticket sales are final. They are not refundable.

Is the farm open to the public in the off season?

No. The farm is ONLY open to the public during our U-pick season. Please check our website or social media channels for the most up-to-date information regarding our operating hours.

Are strollers allowed?

Yes, strollers are allowed. But please note that ground conditions may vary and some areas may be difficult to navigate, especially after rain.

What if I don't want to pick tulips? Do I still have to buy a ticket? I don’t want tulips, can I visit for free?

Why We Charge Admission
Our entrance fee is essential to maintaining the beauty and sustainability of our farm. With thousands of visitors coming to admire the tulips and capture their vibrant beauty in photos, this fee helps us care for the fields, grow our crops, and continue operating as a sustainable business.
To ensure a peaceful, enjoyable experience for all and to keep the blooms plentiful, we also limit the number of visitors each day. Your support makes this possible, and we deeply appreciate your understanding in helping us preserve the charm and magic of our tulip fields!
