PHOTOS: Sunflower festival at Woods Tree Farm

AMELIA COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Woods Tree Farm is hosting a sunflower festival this weekend, and plenty of people came out on Saturday to enjoy the event.

The event technically kicked off on Friday, but Saturday, Sept. 14 was chock full of fun for the Woods Tree Farm sunflower festival — starting at 10 a.m. and lasting until 7 p.m.

8News spoke to the co-owners of the farm, Phil and Stacey Woods, who had nothing but positivity to spread about what the event means to them and why they are happy to share their farm with the community.

“This is just a great place to enjoy the outdoors,” Phil Woods said. “We set up this farm so people could kind of get away from the normal life in the suburbs, or in the city, and come out and enjoy something different. So this farm is set up to just be a place for families to make memories.”

Speaking of families, Stacey Woods explained why the moments she has with her kids on the farm inspire her to share the opportunity with others.

[The farm] means everything, it’s a place for our kids to run around — we were out here last night at the golden hour and it was just breathtaking in the field,” Stacey Woods said. “To hear them laughing and having a good time and us as a family unit, it just means everything, and we love sharing the farm with everyone. We want everyone to experience what we get to experience everyday.”
