Cypress Cove Farm open to the public for photos
Representative Johnny Mack Morrow invites you to come pay a visit to Cypress Cove Farms in Red Bay. Before you arrive, make sure you grab your camera and the kids because this promises to be a fun-filled, picturesque experience you will treasure for years to come. Cypress Cove sits on 300 acres of land owned by Morrow.
“Cypress Cove Farms will be open for the next couple of weeks to the general public for them to come on out and take breath-taking photographs with sunflowers in the background. We are happy to say that the sunflowers are grown right here on the premises and are healthy and beautiful,” Morrow said.
Cypress Cove Farms also offers a wealth of activities for the kids such as hayrides to teaching them how to shuck corn.
“My husband and I took the grandkids there and I must say there are so many fun-filled things to do. The grandkids fed the fish, milked cows, and took lots of pictures in front of the sunflowers. We found our trip to be a wonderful break from all the modern technology of today and it was good to just expose the kids to a time when technology was not so prevalent,” said Carol Hill, wife of Rep. Mike Hill (R-Columbiana).
“We took our daughter there last year and I must say we have the most beautiful fall pictures of her taken in front of the sunflowers. It is like standing in a little field that’s a little piece of Heaven in Franklin County. There are sunflowers as far as the eye can see; you must see it for yourself”, said Julie Ward, wife of Senator Cam Ward (R- Alabaster).
“This is our fourth consecutive year opening Cypress Cove Farms to the community. This is what natural beauty is all about. As long as the sunflowers retain their natural beauty we will be open so bring the children and the cameras. There is no admittance fee, however, I do ask is that you please practice safety with all activities,” Morrow said.
To get to Cypress Cove Farms, take Alabama 24 from Swamp John’s restaurant then proceed west toward Red Bay 1.7 miles. Then turn right on Mudd Creek Road. Go approximately one mile and look for signs on the left, which will direct you to the sunflower fields.
