Sunflower Seed

Ever thought about growing your own Sunflowers? 

Each Summer, here at Willowbank, we have a stunning sea of yellow throughout our paddocks where 15 acres of gorgeous Sunflowers grow. The field is a beautiful sight to see, it's also very peaceful walking through the field seeing happy bees jumping from one flower to another collecting pollen. Approx. 95% of the flowers face the morning sun while we have a few rebels who decide to go against the pack and flower in the opposite direction LOL.

We sell out Sunflowers by the stem to florist and by bouquets. What's remaining in the field we let dry and allow our cattle, alpacas and horses to graze off them. They absolutely love this treat, and the high oil count leaves them with beautiful shiny coats.
