๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ **Where were you when the world stopped turning 25 years ago today?**

September 11, 2001 is a day that many of us will never forget.

Farmer William was in the 8th grade, sitting in class. At first, we didnโ€™t really understand what was happening, but we knew something wasnโ€™t right when kids started getting checked out of school. As the day unfolded, we began to realize that we were witnessing something that would forever change our country.

Today, 25 years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives that were lost. We honor the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, military members, first responders, and ordinary Americans who ran toward danger to help others. We also remember the families who lost loved ones and the countless people whose lives were forever changed that day.

September 11th showed us some of the darkest moments our country has ever faced, but it also showed us the courage, sacrifice, strength, and unity of the American people.

May we never forget those who went to work that morning and never made it home. May we never forget those who gave their lives trying to save others. And may we never forget how our country came together in the days that followed.

**25 years later, we still remember. We still honor. We will never forget. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ**

The kids just couldnโ€™t wait for us to finish the new combine slide before they had to try it out! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฝ

Weโ€™re getting close to being done, and I think itโ€™s going to be a great addition to the farm!

Who else is like Farmer William and starts a project with a budgetโ€ฆ then somehow ends up WAY over budget? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh wellโ€ฆ itโ€™ll be worth it! We canโ€™t wait for everyone to come out and give the new combine slide a try this fall! ๐Ÿšœ๐ŸŒฝ

Just a little more work and sheโ€™ll be ready!

๐Ÿ“ข Weโ€™ll be announcing our opening date, hours, and admission this week, so stay tuned! Fall fun at Gillis Family Farm is right around the corner! ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿšœ

๐ŸŒป August Sunflower Update ๐ŸŒป

We've had several folks asking about our August sunflower field, so here's the latest update.

We planted another sunflower field back in July that was expected to bloom within the next week or so. Unfortunately, when we planted it, we were dealing with extremely hot and dry conditions, which caused some germination issues. Then, just as things started turning around, all of the rain we've received has created another challenge by leaching away much of the fertilizer.

As a result, our sunflowers are much shorter than we had hoped, and I don't expect them to gain much more height before they bloom. I'm not throwing in the towel just yet, but at this point it's honestly not looking very promising.

The good news is we do have sunflowers and zinnias planted for our Fall Festival in October! They should be blooming during our fall activities and will be located at our main farm:

๐Ÿ“ 2899 Gillis Hill Rd, Fayetteville, NC

This year's flowers will not be in the field with the big oak tree because we rotated our corn maze into that field. Instead, the sunflower field will be in the original location where we first started our sunflower fields back in 2020.

We're sorry for the change and appreciate everyone's understanding. We'll continue to post updates as the flowers get closer to blooming. Here's hoping Mother Nature has one more surprise in store for us! ๐ŸŒป

๐ŸŒป Thank You for an Amazing Sunflower Season! ๐ŸŒป

And just like that, our 2026 sunflower season has come to an end.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who came out to visit, take photos, make memories, and support our family farm. Seeing so many smiling faces in the fields is what makes all the hard work worthwhile, and we truly appreciate each and every one of you.

Stay tunedโ€”we may have another sunflower field blooming toward the end of August. If not, we are planning to have a beautiful sunflower field blooming during our Corn Maze season in October, so you'll have another chance to enjoy the flowers this fall.

Thank you again for another wonderful sunflower season. We can't wait to see everyone back at the farm this fall! ๐ŸŒปโค๏ธ

๐ŸŒป Wednesday, July 15th โ€“ Final Day! ๐ŸŒป

Today is the final day our sunflower field will be open for the season!

We sure did enjoyโ€”and definitely neededโ€”the rain, but it's causing the sunflower heads to start leaning, so we've decided today will be our last day.

If you've been planning to visit, this is your last chance to come enjoy the flowers, take photos, and make some memories!

๐Ÿ•  Hours: 5:30 PM โ€“ Sunset

๐Ÿ’ฒ Admission: $8 per person (Ages 2 & under are FREE)

๐Ÿ“ Location: 8743 Stoney Point Rd, Fayetteville, NC

A huge thank you to everyone who came out this season. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again this fall when our next sunflower field blooms! ๐ŸŒป๐Ÿ’›
