Narrative:

I was repositioning the super cub to a family owned farm due to ramp construction at the ZZZ where the aircraft is normally based. I have landed on the farm several times in various aircraft and had walked the landing location. After several low reconnaissance passes and noting tall weeds; I selected a landing location that had no obvious tall weeds. After making an uneventful landing; during the roll-out the main tires hit some dense weed undergrowth not visible from the air. While slow; there was just enough energy remaining to cause the aircraft to flip onto its back. There were no injuries and the damage is minimal. One action that may have prevented the incident would be to mount larger tires to the aircraft for planned off airport landings. Another would be to cut all vegetation from intended landing area on owned land.
