On the Glotfelty farm, McHenry, Maryland
Double G Sunflowers
The same fields Warren and Gesse Glotfelty farm for hay, oats and corn also grow sunflowers. In a bloom year they typically open at the end of July into early August and stay in full color for a few weeks.
Bloom time varies, and not every year has a field. Call the camp store before you drive out to ask about this year’s sunflowers.

How to visit the field
