Ontario is home to a growing number of sunflower farms.
There are at least 13 notable sunflower farms across Ontario, including Davis Family Farm and Campbell’s Cross Farm, both in Caledon, and The Sunflower Farm in Beaverton.
These Ontario farms not only grow sunflowers for seed and oil but also host seasonal festivals, yoga sessions, and photography events, drawing thousands of visitors each summer.
Sunflowers thrive in Ontario’s warm, sunny summers and well-drained soils. The growing process typically begins in mid- to late-May, when seeds are planted directly into the soil after the last frost.
