"My husband and I had a few hours to kill before heading to Sequoia, and we made the impromptu plan to visit Sunshine's Farm this early evening. We are so glad we did! We made this lovely flower bouquet in a pumpkin. The price is also very reasonable. We picked our own flowers and pumpkin, and then arranged the bouquet. The atmosphere and people were so pleasant, calming, and friendly. There was a cute pig that we loved interacting with. Golden hour here is stunning. We would love to come back if we are ever in the area again."

"This is one of my favorite farms in the Fresno area. They host a lot of community event's and they're usually free and great for kids. They have delicious tea and lemonade, fresh produce for sale, and even a food truck. My favorite time to go is during October when they have their sunflower fields and u pick pumpkin patch. In the spring, they also have u pick strawberry days, which is really fun and the strawberries are delicious. I truly appreciate the family of the farm putting all of these special events together for the community. Definitely check them out and support their family farm."
