A Quiet Escape Among Wisconsin’s Sunflower Fields
While Wisconsin is home to several sunflower fields, the Auburndale Sunflower Field stands out for its peaceful atmosphere, family-friendly accessibility, and its commitment to giving back. From August 7 to August 21, the field welcomes visitors daily to soak in the golden blooms, take stunning photos, and enjoy nature — all while supporting a great cause.

The Best Wisconsin Sunflower Photo Spots
This sunflower field isn’t just about the flowers — it’s a photographer’s dream! Whether you’re a casual Instagrammer or hiring a professional, the photo ops here are unmatched:

Giving Back Through Sunflowers
One of the reasons we love this sunflower field so much is its purpose. The entire experience is donation-based, with 100% of proceeds going to Toys for Tots of North Wood County. You can donate via the John Deere mailbox placed conveniently on a picnic table along the trail.
Every photo, every moment of joy in this field helps make the holidays brighter for children in need.
