SOURCE: Wild New Jersey
PICTURE THIS: Rows and rows of the huge, bold faces – all the same yet each one different. Some with the deep yellow tones, shadows, lines and discolorations of age; some bright and canary yellow at the peak of their youth… The sunflowers though, as appealing as they are to see, are more than a petty face and there are many reasons why more and more New Jersey farmers are going for the gold by making them part of their summer crops. -

“Diversity in Suburbia: Success for surrounded family farm”
