Testimonial

Loved by Families Just Like Yours

“Such a fun experience! The farm is beautiful and the sunflower fields were so well maintained. The photo props in the fields just added that extra something that Rutledge does so well! Incredibly friendly staff, the freshest produce, and the yummiest ice lemonade. If you're looking for a fun family outing, Rutledge Family Farm is the way to go.”

“My husband and I went here on our anniversary and it was magical. Every single employee was kind and thoughtful! The flowers were breathtaking and every photo we took looked photoshopped. Such a memorable experience. Thank you to the staff for their authentic hospitality and the corn is delicious!! Try it raw you won't regret it!"

"We went for the sunflower festival. I love how many different types take up the fields. The tractor ride out to the fields was a blast. we walked back easily to the entrance. the staff was wonderful all around. they had a lot of activities available that weren't there last year. I'm excited to see what it will look like when we go back next year. Definitely recommend!"
