Whether you want to hang on to the last bits of summer or dive headfirst into fall, Gritt’s Farm in Buffalo, West Virginia is the place for you. Fields of towering sunflowers speak of sun and warmth and light, while stacks of vibrant orange pumpkins speak of crisp mornings, warm sweaters, and bright fall colors.  And of course, winter on the farm looks, feels, and smells like Christmas, and in spring, the whole place transforms into a hive of tilling, planting, and tending the fields and gardens. Basically, Gritt’s Farm has just the spot for you no matter what your seasonal preference!

For most of the month of September, you can come enjoy a stroll through the magnificent sunflower fields on Gritt's Farm in Putnam County.
