Where to Pick Your Own Sunflowers in the Hudson Valley Sunflowers are instant mood boosters, when you see them, you cannot help but smile. I find it hard not to take a selfie or two of their smiling faces. Over the past couple of years, I saw sunflowers fields all over Facebook and Instagram. They truly do make for the prettiest pictures. When I was in Colorado, I went with my sister to a local CSA, and we picked fruits and vegetables. At the end, the owner told us that we could pick flowers and I was excited to learn we could take home sunflowers.
