Dakeyne Farm Sunflowers

Dakeyne Farm in Mount Denson, just outside Windsor, plants fields of sunflowers that hit the heart of their season from late August through the second week of September — a burst of gold along the Avon River lowlands right as the Annapolis Valley starts turning. Visitors walk the rows for photos, cut stems, and browse the farm's seasonal stand, with The Mom Market setting up on the farm on Saturday, September 5, 2026, bringing local makers and food vendors alongside the blooms.

The sunflower window is short and weather-driven: blooms open progressively rather than all at once, so the field looks good across the whole run but changes week to week. Check the farm's website and social channels before you drive out for hours, cutting prices, and current bloom reports — and go early or late in the day for the best light and the thinnest crowds. Admission details and market dates are posted each season at dakeynefarm.com.

Mount Denson sits minutes from Windsor, which makes the sunflowers an easy add-on to the Hants County Exhibition (September 18-27, 2026) or any stop on our fall harvest activities guide. Combine it with apple U-picks and crush-season wineries in the Annapolis Valley for the classic early-September Valley day.
