Directions: Leabo Farm; 9224 E. Duck Lake Road, Suttons Bay, MI. Head north on M22, turn left onto M204 which is also E. Duck Lake Road. It is around a mile down the road on the left.
I am newly obsessed with Michigan sunflowers after we happened across a glorious field with rolling hills of happy yellow sunflowers while on a road trip across Sutton's Bay in the Leelanau Peninsula this summer.
Leabo farms are super sweet to put out a ladder so viewers can have a birds eye view of the colorful flowers. You can park in their yard and take as many photos as you like and buy some blooms to cheer up your home or office!

YES! Per, How Stuff Works, each sunflower head can contain as many as 1,000 to 2,000 seeds.
