Sunflower Fields of Sanborn, NY | Drone Video
Dan Oshier Productions visited the Sunflowers of Sanborn, NY showing an aerial tour of the fields by drone in the early morning.
(From The Buffalo News Gusto article by Ben Tsujimoto. (Published August 10, 2018)
In 2017, the Danielewicz Farm was not prepared to host a social media phenomenon.
Thanks primarily to Instagram's popularity and a selfie-centered generation, more than 2,000 people visited the Sanborn farm last summer to frolic in a field of blooming, yellow sunflowers. Artsy selfie photos were just the start, fueling the viral craze that briefly made Sanborn the place to go. Couples and families soon caught the fear of missing out, trekking to experience the glorious field for themselves and make sure their social media followers knew that they, too, had taken advantage of the fleeting natural backdrop.
The best part of last year was the stories, the testimonials, remarked Sunflowers of Sanborn events coordinator Deanna Przepiora. [The field] was both cheery and peaceful, they'd say. It was the perfect place to get away, to decompress. They'd say how we brought joy to them.
Excited to improve visitors' experience and take more safety precautions, the three-person team of farm owners Chad and Louise Brachmann, plus Przepiora, Chad's sister, has plotted out a busy summer for the new crop of vibrant yellow plants.
Sunflowers of Sanborn opens to the public at 11 a.m. Aug. 11 at 3311 Saunders Settlement Road, Sanborn. Gates to the sunflowers open at 8 a.m. daily for exploration, but hours for concessions, the mini town and kids activities will be from 4 p.m. to dusk Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The farm is free to visit, and parking is free. The sunflower field is expected to remain open through the second weekend in September.
A new setup
Last year, the Danielewicz Farm sunflower field was not positioned to accommodate throngs of curious visitors.
Anxious to snap photos by the roughly six-foot-tall plants, many drivers parked near or at the intersection of Baer Road and Route 31, congesting an already busy thoroughfare and creating unsafe situations.
For 2018, then, the Brachmanns planted their roughly 1,000 sunflower seeds 500 feet away from last year's field, leaving space for a 100-spot dirt parking lot.
The Sunflowers
As Chad Brachmann explained in the video, the farm has staggered when the sunflowers bloom, which means visitors might not witness a scene like this article's featured photo on the first weekend.
But, the owners did experiment with new seeds; sharp reds and oranges will be intermingled among the piercing yellows. Should visitors want to take a sunflower home, there's a separate field for picking and a barn for trimming, Przepiora noted.
While the flowers were planted from late May into early June, the area's exceedingly dry July challenged the farmers, forcing them to trust an irrigation system to properly nourish the plants.
Explore the Town
Working with Hahn's Ponds and Niagara Lawn & Garden Equipment, Sunflowers of Sanborn will introduce a mini town, with a Western theme, consisting of five huts stationed behind the sunflower field. A general store, creamery, cafe with grilled hot dogs and burgers, and a sunflower-based novelty shop with garden trinkets are among the attractions.
Przepiora highlighted the Gem Mine, a special area for kids. After purchasing a bag of sand ($6, or two for $10), kids can pour the contents of their bag into a basket with small holes. Water from a waterfall then rushes through the basket, removing the sand and unveiling roughly 20-25 brightly colored gems.
Guests may purchase and decorate a rock to place under the Tree of Hope; proceeds benefit the Breast Cancer Network of Western New York.
Special Events at the Field
Three special events have been scheduled for the month.
*Crafters in the Field, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 18 and 19. More than 60 vendors - mostly artists and craftsmen - will set up in the sunflower fields, which gives attendees something to do other than take pictures.
*Sunrise Yoga, 8 a.m. Aug. 25. An hour of yoga in the sunflower fields is followed by a chance to explore the farm.
*Food Trucks in the Field, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 1. Ten trucks are scheduled to participate, including Ms. Judi's, Just Pizza, The Cheesecake Guy, Hawaiian BBQ, J&L Boulevard BBQ, The Salad Bar, Dirty Bird and Coyote Cafe.

Delaware Park–Front Park System is a historic park system and national historic district located in the northern and western sections of Buffalo in Erie County, New York. The park system was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, developed between 1868 and 1876.
Delaware Park: It is the centerpiece of the Buffalo, New York parks system and located in the North Buffalo neighborhood. The 376-acre (152 ha) park was named simply The Park by Olmsted; it was later renamed Delaware Park because of its proximity to Delaware Avenue, Buffalo's mansion row. It is divided into two areas: the 243-acre (98 ha) Meadow Park on the east and the 133-acre (54 ha) Water Park, with what was originally a 43-acre (17 ha) lake (Gala Water), on the west. The 12-acre (4.9 ha) ravine and picnic grove on the south side of the lake comprise a subdivision of the latter. A widening of Scajaquada Creek, which flows westward through the park, is called Hoyt Lake (originally Mirror Lake). The lake was a feature during the Pan-American Exposition. The Scajaquada Expressway bisects the park west to east.
The Albright-Knox Art Gallery occupies the park's western edge, overlooking Hoyt Lake, and the Buffalo History Museum is situated on its northern edge, overlooking Scajaquada Creek. The park is also home to a noted replica of Michelangelo's David. The park is home to Shakespeare in Delaware Park, a summer tradition since the mid-1970s, and the second largest free outdoor Shakespeare festival in the United States (after New York City's). It is also the location of the Buffalo Zoo on the east side of Meadow Park. The park also has a golf course, four baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and a few soccer fields.
Contributing structures are: Caretakers Cottage (1889);
Lincoln Parkway Bridge (1900),designed by Green and Wicks; Rose Garden Pergola (1912); Stone Bridge (ca. 1887), the only remaining structure from the original Olmsted plan; Parkside Lodge (1914); Rumsey Shelter House (1900); Main Zoo Building (1935-1940); Shelter House (ca. 1900); and Elephant House (ca. 1912).[2] Located adjacent to the park are the Parkside East Historic District and Parkside West Historic District, both added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
