Events at Sunset View Farm, Andover NJ
We love to welcome new people to the farm throughout the growing season. Please consider attending any of the fun events we have scheduled for this year!
Zinnia Madness
People come from far and wide for Farmer Andy's annual Zinnia Madness party!
Join the crew for a great time planting the Zinnia field together, and stick around for lunch on the porch overlooking the farm.
Zinnia Madness usually occurs late in May or early in June, dates to be confirmed closer to planting time.

This event occurs around mid-May: dates TBD.
