UPDATE: The sunflower field below is not in bloom in 2019. Checkout my newest post from August 2019 about another sunflower field option in the area, Schell Family Farm in Pinckney, Back to Capture More Pure Michigan Sunflowers 🌻🌻🌻
The calendar has flipped to August in Michigan, the days are starting to get shorter and we are on the back half of summer. That must mean it’s sunflower season! 🌻🌻🌻 This season brought me to Fowlerville in Livingston County and the sunflower field at Munsell Farms. Sunflowers galore!
You will find this sunflower field and Munsell Farms off W. Mason Rd. just east of Fowlerville Rd. It’s just a few miles off of Exit 129 on I-96 to the south.
I parked alongside Mason to grab a few shots without going into the field itself. Like with my previous sunflower adventures, I choose to check them out early in the day against the early morning light.
From my experience Michigan sunflowers don’t stay fully bloomed for long. If it’s late summer get out there as soon as you have the chance. 🌻🌻🌻
Another sunflower excursion is in the books. So beautiful to see up close as always. I would contact Munsell Farms directly to inquire about grabbing a few shots from within the field itself. You can find them on Facebook.

Where else would you recommend checking out Michigan sunflowers? Where have you come across them in your travels?
There is a large field along M-52 in rural Owosso. I don’t know if it is private or not… I stopped while driving by and took some not-great shots because I wanted to respect their property. But it was huge and very pretty.
Cool beans Jennifer! Can imagine. 🌻🌻🌻 Have driven M-52 between I-96 and northern Owosso area before. Will have to keep an eye out if ever in that area in August. 🙂
Flower power!
Yes indeed! 🙂 Love how the sunflowers stand out amongst the landscape.
Such bright and beautiful pictures!
Thank you so much! Loved capturing them. 🙂
What beautiful photos. I have never seen so many sunflowers in one place. I’m sure we don’t get them like that over here in England but they look so pretty!!
Thank you guys! Do love capturing sunflowers each August over this way. Found this one because believe it or not there is a much larger field in this same area most years, but they weren’t in bloom there this season. 😦 Sunflower cheers!
Those are beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Gail! No problem. Which the sunflowers were still here and lasted longer. Too cold over this way now haha. 🙂
My sisters and I traveled to Indiana in mid September and saw several fields. We also saw signs not to get out of your car to photograph and we couldn’t figure that out (we were on a little country road). I guess they didn’t want trespassers.
I so needed to see something beautiful tonight and sunflowers are my favorite 😀
Well I’m glad I could help out Dawn. Sunflowers are the best. Which could seem them longer in Michigan each year. That makes them even more special too see I guess. 🌻🌻🌻
Pretty! Do you know of any sunflower fields in Michigan this year? Thanks.
Thank you!!! I actually just discovered and visited one yesterday. Shrill Family Farm right by Downtown Pinckney. They are worth a look, sunflowers at peak right now. Some of photos from:
