Sunflower Alert! Where to See Sunflowers in NSW 2026

Here at ellaslist, we love ourselves a good Insta-hype, and nothing says 'Instagram' quite like a blooming field of rich yellow sunflowers!

Our stunning state is full of beautiful sunflowers that bloom anytime between December and May, depending on the farm and the weather. Here's where to go to see (and pick) them yourself this coming season.

Pick Your Own Sunflower Farms in NSW

1. Hunter Valley Sunflowers

Open during sunflower-picking season (usually around January through to March), get ready to walk through three-metre-tall fields of blossoming yellow flowers at Hunter Valley Sunflowers. The boutique family-run farm also sells their gorgeous blooms at local farmers' markets in the area. 

Visitors can harvest their own stems, wander the field for photos, or bring a picnic. Pets are welcome on a lead.

The farm is generally open from January through to May, weather permitting, so this covers a longer window than most other spots on this list. Exact 2026/2027 dates haven't been confirmed, so check their social media pages closer to summer.

Location: 125 McKimms Road, Largs

2. The Bloom Barn

Another great spot with sunflower fields near Sydney, The Bloom Barn has gorgeous rolling lawns full of sunflowers, and they also offer sunflower picking!

The Bloom Barn on the Central Coast is running pick-your-own sunflower sessions on select Saturdays in November 2026, with 7, 14, 21 and 28 November 2026 currently open for booking. Each guest picks five stems, and staff will wrap them into a bouquet for you. Tickets include flower farm entry and parking.

Adult tickets are $24, kids aged 5 to 15 are $16, seniors and concession card holders are $19, and infants aged 4 and under go free. A family pass covering two adults and two children is $80. Two dollars from every ticket goes to Coast Shelter, supporting victims of domestic violence.

Bookings are essential, and your tickets allow entry to the sunflower fields anytime between 9 am and 12 pm. 

Location: 1154 Peats Ridge Rd, Peats Ridge

3. The Little Tin Shed

The adorable team at The Little Tin Shed sell freshly harvested fruit, flowers, and vegetables from their roadside 'little tin shed' in Meadowie, NSW.

During the sunflower-picking season, they also open up their sunflower field to visitors keen to pick fresh blooms and snap that essential family picture. 

Past sessions have run over summer with cash-only payments (no EFTPOS on site). Follow their Instagram for the latest 2026/2027 dates.

4. Farm & Co

Located off the dusty roads of a small farm county called Cudgen just 15 minutes south of the Queensland border, you’ll find a sweet vegetarian cafe, farm animals and rows of sunflowers at Farm & Co.

Farm & Co welcome visitors to roam their sunny sunflower fields, see how they grow all their produce, taste fresh macadamias, visit their animals, or stop off for a bite to eat at the restaurant.

It's $7 to roam the beautiful farm with no booking required, but we recommend checking ahead to see if their sunflowers are still blooming.

Location: 529 Cudgen Rd, Cudgen NSW

5. Liverpool Plains

Nestled in the Liverpool Plains are crops of spectacularly stunning sunflowers that love to put on a show! This isn't the Liverpool we know in Sydney, but around a 4.5-hour drive up the north coast. Did somebody say road trip?

There are two sowing times per year, which result in a vibrant display of these joyful blooms around Christmas time and then again in February/March.

The Rural Heritage Village Sunflower Festival has typically landed in February, alongside the wider Sunflower Trail promoted by the local council and community Facebook groups.

Sunflowers here are grown on private farms, so admire them from the road unless you have permission to enter. Check the Liverpool Plains Council page and Facebook group for 2027 dates as the season approaches.
