Details may have changed. Call the farm before travelling to confirm what's ripe and that they're open.
Genuine, well-documented recurring pick-your-own sunflower operation run by dairy farming family Adam & Claira Whipp at 517 Thornton Road, Timmering VIC (between Rochester and Kyabram, borderline Campaspe/Goulburn Valley boundary but marketed as near Kyabram) -- 12ha, ~420,000 sunflower seeds planted annually. Operated for at least 6 consecutive seasons through February 2025 per independent local press (Dairy News Australia, Riverine Herald). 2025 season: two weekends in February, morning and evening sessions; $10/adult, $5/child entry incl. corn maze and hay-bale playground; cut sunflowers $4/stem or $30/10; no booking required for general entry (Square 'Appointments' site appears used mainly for Claira's optional sunset photoshoot bookings). IMPORTANT CAVEAT: melbourneplaygrounds.com.au explicitly states 'Update: Not opening in 2026' for this venue, and this was independently corroborated by search results. As today's date (18 July 2026) is well past the usual Feb-Mar season window, this confirms the farm's PYO season did not run in 2026. This is a real, established, non-duplicate business -- not a scam or permanently defunct listing -- but it is not currently offering its public pick-your-own season. Recommend publishing only with a clear 'not currently operating -- confirm via Facebook/Instagram before visiting' caveat, or holding the listing pending confirmation of a 2027 season, rather than presenting it as an active, bookable farm.
