Felix’s Family Farm in Ipswich opens its gates for all-day admission to expansive fields and cutting gardens where sunflowers, dahlias, lavender and zinnias share the rows with friendly farm animals. For 2025 the operation invites visitors to walk the property, cut blooms for a small fee, and photograph what remains of the season’s color.

THE FLOWERS

Cutting Garden and Mixed Blooms

The farm’s cutting sunflower garden contains more than a dozen sunflower varieties alongside dahlias, lavender and zinnias; visitors can cut flowers to take home for an added fee, and the dahlia field is highlighted as being at peak bloom.

THE SEASON

Past Peak Sunflower Conditions

Felix’s is transparent that the main sunflower fields are past peak this year: the first field is gone, the second still has some blooms, and the next reliably photogenic sunflower display is noted for August 2026.

THE ANIMALS

Farm Animals on the Walk

Visitors will encounter cows, goats and bunnies on the property—part of the outing’s family-friendly appeal and a complement to the floral displays.
