Lyman Orchards really is a big deal! From a modest working farm to the huge family attraction it is today, it has much to offer families.

“In their wildest dreams, colonial farmer John Lyman and his wife, Hope, could not have envisioned the complex and diverse enterprise that would evolve from their purchase in 1741 of a 37-acre parcel of land in what is now Middlefield. Now covering more than 1,100 acres of scenic farmland, Lyman Orchards is one of the most popular family attractions in New England.

350,000 blooming Sunflowers are crafted into a unique design to create a sunflower maze. $1 from every admission supports the Connecticut Children’s Pediatric Care Unit.  We want people to reach for the stars in their lives.

Lyman Orchards’ Sunflower Maze, is Connecticut’s only Sunflower Maze.

• More than 350,000 red and yellow sunflowers make up this year’s maze.

• The maze is approximately 3 acres in size

• The average time to make it through the maze is about 30 minutes”
