When thinking of u-pick farms in Mississippi, blueberry farms are likely what come to mind. And as sweet as pick-your-own berry farms are, they’re not the only type of u-pick farm in Mississippi. The state is also home to a u-pick sunflower farm. Dubbed Coastal Ridge Farm, the flower farm boasts blooms two times a year – in the spring and fall, which means now is the perfect time to visit!

Coastal Ridge Farm is a “little flower farm” in the small town of Picayune.
