The Sunflower Farm is a family-run event venue and working flower farm located in Beaverton, Ontario. Specializing in seasonal experiences, The Sunflower Farm hosts a range of curated activities including the Cruisin' Classic Car & Truck Show, floral workshops, twilight concerts, and wildlife photography sessions. The farm's 10 acres of sunflowers and landscaped trails provide scenic backdrops for events, hands-on workshops, and publicly ticketed gatherings.
Visitors can register classic vehicles for shows that require cars and trucks to be at least 30 years old, participate in People's Choice voting, and enjoy sponsored prize competitions. Floral classes led by experienced florists guide participants through creating bespoke bouquets and pumpkin floral arrangements using homegrown blooms. Evening events feature live music, local food and beverage vendors, and performances such as the Blooms & Brews Sunset Concert featuring the band Caliber.
