A great place to stop and smell the sunflower in the early fall / late summer!…read more My partner and I visited on a semi cloudy day which meant that the field was pretty empty but the sun came out which was very nice. They have a free but small parking lot on site so it may be good to go during off time. The entry fee for the sunflower field is $5 a person which I think is a pretty fair price. We considered getting a mason jar to fill for around $10 but decided not to. There are endless turns you can take and several props set up throughout the field for photos. I recommend going in with no destination in mind and just taking it all in because it is amazing! There are also some benches / picnic tables you can use for lunch as well. I can't wait to visit again the next year!

During rainy days, it's gonna get muddy walking through that lot. It gets better once you pass the entrance and go through the path. You will go along the Oxbow Lake on one side and apple trees on the other. After that path, you'll get to the farm where small vegetable, pumpkin, and sunflower patches are. Everything is so cute! The most interesting part is the conservation tent is. Super big and full of baby plants. Amazing! Just don't touch anything :) They grow a lot of flowers too. They have tomatoes in another tent. There are activities for kids such as painting pumpkins or scavenging hunt. You can also have lunch at the tables and buy cider from them :)

I needed to be in Carnation for a quick meet-up, and I decided to plan a day of activities visiting…read morethe area - Carnation Farms (and Remlinger Farms). Arriving at Carnation Farms, not knowing what exactly might be there, I was firstly surprised to see the classic "Carnation Farms" logo with the exact font type and the carnation flower on the cans of evaporated milk that I have seen my entire life. Wait a minute, is this THE "Carnation Farms"? Well, yes, but also a no, but also a yes. LOL. I ended up reading the historical signs and chatting with the cashier for a while (there were no other customers - zero). Carnation was indeed the dairy farm that made the now world-famous evaporated milk, created in 1899. The business grew and thrived so well that the community of Tolt was renamed to Carnation in 1917 although the name changed back and forth two more times before it stayed with Carnation. In downtown Carnation, many businesses are still named Tolt, including the Tolt River. In 1985, Nestle brought the Carnation company. In 2016, the original Stuart family purchased the name "Carnation Farms" back from Nestle. The name rights exclude diary, but they have animals and is now a venue, amongst other business ventures. We missed a local market that was on the previous day. Today, this sleepy business sells many locally made products and hosts community events such as the local market. Limited bundles of produce represented the 'farm' name poorly, if I am being honest. I asked the cashier which products in the store are actually from the current farm. She pointed to the freezer case. I chose a frozen curry goat soup from the case. It was passable, more soup than goat, i.e. not much meat. If you want to visit, check their calendar of events and go for a museum tour or one of their many events. The shop itself is less interesting.

They also have goats and donkeys for viewing. The prices are pretty steep. We paid $168 for our 7 foot tree. We cut it ourselves and a guy came over pronto to cart it away and bailed it for us. When we got home, I was surprised to find that it had not been shaken (although I had noticed they had a shaker) and there were lots of loose, dead needles, and a patch of mud that was really hard clean off of the lower branches. They also have a gift shop with pre-decorated wreathes and homey Christmas decorations.

Lots of open space and areas to sit! Really enjoyed our time here!

Leaving Bellevue it was sunny, but quickly changed to rain, thunder, and lightning. Arrived at the location, signs indicated that they were Open, but a young man greeted us with the news that because of the weather they closed early. My wife explained that we had just driven out from Newcastle; her namesake flowers were her favorite, and she's a City Councilmember! Besides, the rain had stopped and it was clearing! A quick call to the owner resulted in permission to walk out through the gardens, livestock, chickens, and braying burros--at no charge!! Various types of sunflowers available for viewing, but quite a walk out to the currently blooming acreage! Lots of areas still growing for future displays this fall. Lots of photo ops with the setting sun and sunlight playing on area hillsides behind multitudinous Sunflowers! Looks like a fun place, with Shave Ice and Weiner World SuperFantastic Hot Dogs! I'm sure even more fun stuff when the weather cooperates! Thanks to the Lora Lee Family for their kindness! (I'm going to have to come back out for a WW SF Hot Dog!!)

The Ronnei tree farm is a no BS cut what you want tree farm which made picking a tree so much easier than at Carnation tree farm.
