Beaver Dam Farm has been a part of the Wickline family since 1900. It began as a tomato canning factory, then in 1927, became a dairy. By 1949 Beaver Dam Farm consisted of a herd of about 30 Guernsey heifers, cows and calves. Due to ever rising production costs and labor, the dairy closed in 2019 causing the family to re-evaluate some necessary changes. At the time, the herd consisted of about 110 head of Holstein cattle. Beaver Dam Farm currently runs a beef operation along with hay, straw and sunflowers./p> /div> div classof_options> button classof_button story_button> p classof_button_text>Our Story/p> div classof_button_arrow>/div> /button> button classof_button vision_button> p classof_button_text>Vision Statement/p> div classof_button_arrow>/div> /button> button classof_button partner_button> p classof_button_text>2021 Partners/p> div classof_button_arrow>/div> /button> /div> !-- bottom of page --> div classbottom_bar> div classbottom_logo> img src/static/img/main_imgs/BDFSFestival Logo2x.jpg>/img> /div> /div> div classbottom_text> p>Have questions?

We assume this is due to chemical changes in the wilted tissues resulting in increases in sugars and amino acids. /div> div classbottom_bar> div classbottom_logo> img src/static/img/main_imgs/BDFSFestival Logo2x.jpg>/img> /div> /div> div classbottom_text> p>Have questions?

Bees pollinate more than 30% of the food we eat, and in the United States it is estimated that bees pollinate up to $15 billion worth of crops each year. In addition to providing pollination services, honey bees also produce other products that people use including honey, pollen, wax, royal jelly, and propolis. The festival brings in 80,000+ bees each year to help with sunflower pollination and to produce sunflower honey. /div> div classbottom_bar> div classbottom_logo> img src/static/img/main_imgs/BDFSFestival Logo2x.jpg>/img> /div> /div> div classbottom_text> p>Have questions?

The Beaver Dam Farm Sunflower Festival was officially open for business. Fast forward six years, Candace and her family now host the largest sunflower and artisan festival on the East Coast, and if you ask her, this is only the beginning. /p> p> In 2015 Frank Preston Wickline III decided he would plant a few acres of sunflowers to see how they would take to the land and how they would produce. To their surprise, not only had the sunflowers harvested well and provided a good source of income for the farm, the beautiful blooms caught widespread attention from the local community. The family decided it only made sense to plant them again the following year./p> /div> div classos_img> img src/static/img/our_farm/Our Story/Our Story Sunflower2x.jpg alt classos_img> /div> div classos_text> p> Two weeks before the sunflowers were to bloom, Candace approached her dad, Preston, and said “I think we could charge people to come see these flowers.” His reaction was less than ideal to say the least. If you are not familiar with farmers, most like to keep to themselves and certainly do not like people wandering all over their property. Preston reluctantly agreed and Candace went to work planning and preparing. /p> p> Candace’s goal was to reach 300 people in those seven hours of operation. One of her greatest memories from that first year was when her brother called her from the parking lot and said “Look at this line, we have cars lined up to get in here!!” In that moment she knew they were on to something amazing. That day they saw family, friends, community members and outside visitors from a range of 11 states total. The day ended with 1,600 visitors as her aunt embraced Candace with tears of joy and said “I guess we will do this again next year.” /p> /div> div classos_img> img src/static/img/our_farm/Our Story/Our Story Couple2x.jpg alt classos_img> /div> div classos_text> p> From peaceful walks through the sunflowers with staged photo opportunities throughout to the sights and sounds of children laughing and couples strolling hand in hand. Live music strummed in the background with an occasional distant roar of the tractor giving people hay rides to face painting and photographers spread among the fields capturing the stillness in time of flowers and families alike. Whether it be burgers, BBQ, or burritos to deep fried Oreos, cotton candy, or kettle corn, there’s a variety of mouth-watering options for even the pickiest palate. The vendors and volunteers bring welcome and warmth to your visit. Many vendors allot special time prior to the event crafting sunflower-specific crafts making for unique souvenirs and gift options. /p> p> Outside of the festival itself, Beaver Dam Farm Sunflowers’ opens the sunflower fields during those two weeks to bless others through smaller and more unique events. They make time to open exclusively for adults and children with special needs who otherwise would not be able to tolerate the volume of a normal festival. From preschoolers to senior citizens, Candace’s time is prioritized to host these small groups who otherwise might not have gotten this opportunity. There’s goat yoga, sunset dinner among the sunflowers, and paint nights, all of which are highly memorable events. Four scholarships are given each year to two deserving high school students and two local non-profits. Following the festival season, nothing goes to waste; the seeds are harvested and packaged into 20 pound bags and sold wholesale to local distributors as black oil bird seed. /p> /div> div classos_img> img src/static/img/our_farm/Our Story/Our Story Love2x.jpg alt classos_img> /div> div classos_text> p> The annual Sunflower Festival is Candace Monaghan’s love letter to her community and the world around her. Beaver Dam Farm believes this has not only been a blessing to their farm, but a gateway to give back through many opportunities to make a difference in the lives and businesses of others. Beaver Dam Farm Sunflowers’ uses their online platform to support not only their vendors but also organizations they support such as FFA and 4H year round. /p> p>Admission has grown to tens of thousands. Candace can’t wait to see what the future holds and is incredibly humbled by the ability to experience full circle moments receiving blessings of this magnitude that she and her family can be a blessing to others. /p> p>Whether it be a day trip or a weekend getaway, Beaver Dam Farm Sunflower Festival is an experience well worth the travel as Botetourt County creates a vacation experience filled with fresh mountain air and unforgettable views. Bordered by the Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail, and the James River, there’s a sport available to any outdoor enthusiast. There’s few locations where a sunrise or sunset will take your breath away. Hiking, biking, kayaking, tubing, fishing, the list goes on not to mention sports and shopping or well-known breweries and wineries./p> p> Why not reserve your September for Sunflowers? It’s sure to be an experience you’ll never forget!/p> /div> !-- !OS GALLERY --> div classos_gallery_lightbox> div classexit_os_cycle>/div> img classos_gallery_source src alt> div classos_gallery_cycle> div classos_cycle_left>/div> div classos_cycle_right>/div> /div> /div> !-- !OS GALLERY --> div classos_gallery_container> img classos_img_1 os_gallery> img classos_img_2 os_gallery> img classos_img_3 os_gallery> img classos_img_4 os_gallery> /div> div classos_arrows> div classos_left>/div> div classos_right>/div> /div> div classbottom_bar> div classbottom_logo> img src/static/img/main_imgs/BDFSFestival Logo2x.jpg>/img> /div> /div> div classbottom_text> p>Have questions?
