As summer starts to wind down, one of the best ways to hang onto some sunshine is with a fresh bouquet of sunflowers. Sure, you could just pick them up at a florist, but I say why not make an adventure of it and head out to a gorgeous spot, like Fresh Acres Farm, where you can pick your own sunflowers in Minnesota!

Fresh Acres Farm is located near the community of Monticello, Minnesota, between the Twin Cities metro area and St. Cloud.
