To enjoy Wise Acres Organic Farm, you have to make a reservation via their website. If you’re not ‘in the know’, when trying to make a reservation for their u-pick or sunflower picking, you will most likely be met with an ‘excessive traffic’ message. It is nerve wracking tying to get a reservation! Most excitingly, I scored a slot for Friday evening at 8pm which also happened to be the last slot of the day. I figured at 8pm the heat would be tolerable to venture outside. As a Boston, MA native, this North Carolina heat is no joke!
The day came for our sunflower excursion, and it was raining buckets. I kid you not, the storm brought on torrential downpours the entire day. I was so bummed, since I knew more than likely we would have to cancel our reservation and forego the “perfect” family picture opp I had in my head.
With 15 minutes to spare until our reservation, my husband said, “We are still going, so put on some shoes and load up the kids!” This is why I married him. 🙂
When we got to the farm, we were greeted by the owner (who lives on the property) who was so sweet and welcoming! At this point the rain was tapering off, and were the only family on the grounds.
Before we started picking, I pulled out our handy tripod (which I am obsessed with these days) and snapped away. Even with the rain, mud, and pending darkness, the photos came out so cute! My entire family LOVED this experience, and we can’t wait to return to Wise Acres for more fun activities.
