Regardless of how warm and beautiful it gets after a long, drawn-out winter, it isn’t really summer in the Palmetto State until you see a sunflower field in South Carolina painted in bright yellow blooms that instantly make you smile. Seeing that field is one thing – but stepping inside it to pick your own sunflowers is another thing entirely! Are you ready for u-pick sunflower season?
The sunflowers at Bush-N-Vine Farm in York are on the rise and are expected to mature in August this year.
And the farm stand on the property is a must-visit. This open-air market sells fresh fruit and produce from Bush-N-Vine and also has a farm cafe. Be sure to take a look around when you hit the sunflower fields for the u-pick event!

The u-pick sunflower season is usually open by late August and lasts well into October.
Field planting times are usually staggered in order to extend the u-pick season. The u-pick days and times vary, but it's open to the public Monday through Saturday.
And don't forget a tall bucket (we recommend a five-gallon bucket) so you can safely get your colorful new blooms home. Nothing beats a fresh bouquet of sunflowers to brighten up the space.
If you're wondering how far it is from where you may be in the state, it's 77 miles from Greenville, 84 miles from Columbia, 117 miles from Florence, 200 miles from Charleston, and 220 miles from Beaufort.
