Idgie's Sunflowers is located in Nebo, Kentucky situated on the Twinmaple Gourd Farm. The couple who owns all these beautiful sunflowers have been married for almost 40 years and are empty nesters with three grown children and four grandchildren.

We feel so blessed that we own our own land and live in the country after moving every few years for most of our married life. Planting and harvest season are a time we cherish.  Nothing gives us more enjoyment than growing and selling sunflowers grown on our farm. We invite you to visit our farm and to share the joy of sunflowers that we experience every day.
