Nestled in an expanse of majestic sunflowers, every corner of the field is an opportunity to take unique photos, soak in the beauty, and indulge in some relaxation.
Not just a sea of sunflowers

You can then choose, pick and create your own bouquet or, if you don’t want to get your hands dirty, camp staff will be available to help compose a wonderful and unique bouquet of flowers. The cost of the bouquet will be by weight.
But Steflor doesn’t stop there! Fresh blueberries can also be found growing in the fields as if they were immense vegetable gardens and picked one by one, they will be available for purchase in 250gr tubs.
