According to the post, the farm’s sunflowers, while stunted, survived a slew of weather events, including Hurricane Nicole’s wind and rain and Florida’s winter freeze.

“The past couple of years have been extremely difficult for us due to the weather. We appreciate everyone being patient and understanding. We want to thank you for continuing to support our farm,” the post read.

The farm said it will post weekend hours on the Facebook page later this week.

The cash-only entry fee is $5 per person and free for children under 3 years old.
