OUR TEST SEASON FOR
U-Pick Flowers and Sunflower Field Experience
TEST SEASON FOR SUNFLOWERS AND U-PICK FLOWERS
Although we are seasoned tulip growers and connoisseurs of Christmas trees (our other two public seasons) this is our first year—our ‘test year’ for our sunflowers and u-pick flowers. It’s our own little ‘NFL’ draft ie ‘National Flower League’, where we are making important decisions on which varieties of sunflowers, growing techniques and which flower varieties will make the “cut”. What this means for you is that we will charge less, this summer, for flowers and be open later in the summer, so we can give all the flowers we want, a chance to bloom!
A field of bright yellow sunflowers is magnificent. The deep contrast between their dark centers ringed with cheerful lighter petals will draw your eye to a fence line every time. It’s also a marvel to watch the heads of sunflowers move in unison and turn to face the direction of the sun.
Every year during the first weekend of April we start planting sunflowers. We anticipate this test year, due to heavy rains, that the sunflowers will be ready towards mid June through end of July. You can pick your own bouquet, or purchase one of our pre-cut sunflower bunches and sunflower seeds!
We're located in Terrell, TX, just a short trip from Forney, Kaufman, and the greater Dallas area.
Sunflowers in Bloom
Our beautiful flowers will be available for public picking in 2025. Stay posted for our next opening date.
U-Pick Flowers and a Blackberry Lemonade
There is something inviting about a fresh bouquet of flowers whose fragrance graces all who enter your home. They can also remind you of the fun you had earlier that day as you went up and down rows and rows of flowers, hand-selecting all your favorite colors and blooms. At Hemingway Hill, we invite you to experience the fun of our u-pick flower field and fill a mason jar with a unique, gorgeous bouquet to take home you.
We’ll lend you some clippers and a container to put your flowers in as you search the flower rows for your favorites or get inspired by something new. When you are finished, you can sample our signature blackberry honey lemonade.
We also have pre-picked bunches of flowers for purchase! Grab a bouquet on your way home from work or stop and have a coffee and one of our signature apple cider donuts to relax while looking out into the flower fields.
Did you know that we have bee hives at our farm and they make the most delicious honey.
Our Bees Love Our Flowers.
The hives are strategically placed in most tranquil section of the farm. Our bees are well cared for and share with us some of the most delicious honey, that has a delightful flower overtone. Our small batch honey is sold at the farm during u-pick tulips, and at Christmas tree season.
Bees depend on flower’s pollen and nectar. You can help a bee out and plant a little patch of flowers. We sell top grade flower seeds at the farm and soon, online.
We Sell the Greatest Flower Seeds
Our flower seed packets are available for purchase at the farm during U-Pick Tulip and U-Pick Flower season, with online sales coming soon.
Planting seeds is believing in the beauty that is in your tomorrow.
Future Plans
Future plans for the farm include installing hundreds of regenerative grown hydrangeas and viburnum for future cut production. We are also building greenhouses to grow lisianthus, ranunculus, and many more select flowers. Stay tuned for exciting announcements as we expand our offerings!
