Pick Your Own Sunflowers in Picayune – May/June

There’s a farm in Picayune, MS, where you can pick your own sunflowers. The u-pick season is just getting started, so read on to find out everything you need to know about the charming farm.

Coastal Ridge Farm is a “fresh, earth-friendly little flower farm in south Mississippi.” More specifically, it’s located near Hancock County in Picayune.
Visitors are invited to the farm for Sunflower U-Pick Season.
During the u-pick season, the farm is open each Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
The owners recommend calling before you visit. This is suggested so they can let you know the quantity/quality of sunflowers available. You can reach Coastal Ridge Farm at (601) 918-3770. Alternatively, you can check the farm’s Facebook page for availability.
Admission is just $10 for ages 12 and up and $5 for anyone under 12. There’s also a family rate, which is $25.
There are a few things you should know before you go. First of all, you’ll be strolling through acres of sunflower fields, so you can expect plenty of walking and “rough ground.”
Don’t forget to wear old shoes. Also, you’ll need a pruner, garden shears, pocket knife, or something similar to cut the sunflowers as well as a 1-gallon jug to bring them home.
Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, water, and a folding chair are a few other things to consider bringing with you to the farm.
Though it should go without saying, a camera is also a must when visiting Coastal Ridge Farm. With acres of whimsical sunflowers, the photo-ops are as abundant as the crops!
