There is a wide range of sunflower picking seasons across the different sunflower fields. Some local sunflower farms open in early July, others in August. Some have long seasons, others have short sunflower seasons.
Some farms with long seasons talk about different varieties becoming available later. My guess is the season depends on how many varieties you have and when each one blooms.

Tips for Visiting a Sunflower Farm
Our friends at Jersey Family Fun, shared their 11 Tips for Visiting a Sunflower Farm.
The most important tip I found was to make sure you check the farm rules. They do all have rules about whether cutting is allowed, pre-purchased tickets are required, payments accepted, length of visit and more.
Other than that, I also liked the suggestions to bring your own shears and a water bottle as a vase.
What tips do you have to add?
