(Lynd Fruit Farm) This review is specifically for the S’miles of Sunflowers they have in the summer. It was a great event. There are plenty of sunflowers and a lot of variety. There are also a lot of photo ops at different places within the fields. We did not get to all of them. I went on a weekday, so there was not a lot of activities going on, but on the weekends I believe they offer different events. On the weekday, however, it’s less crowded, making it easier to take pictures at your own pace.
