The festival has become an annual event at the property and is held over two weekends.

The first group of visitors attended on January 28 and 29, but Eden Farm will again throw open its gates this weekend, February 4 and 5.

This Saturday will see people able to visit from noon to 6pm, while Sunday the farm will be open from 9am to 2pm.

It is free to walk among the sunflowers, but paid farm tours will also be available.

Check the Eden Farm Wellness Facebook page for all the details.
