Just over an hour away from the middle of Manhattan lays a sprawling, beautiful feat of natural wonder that will re-invigorate all of your senses. Holland Ridge Farms, in New Jersey, is a colorful pick-your-own tulip farm that rivals the famous flower beds that call the Netherlands home.
Speaking of the European country: the New Jersey farm is actually owned and operated by the Jansen family, who started growing tulips in Holland a century ago. In 1964, Casey Sr. (the "head of the house," as stated on the destination's official website) immigrated to the United States and set up Holland Greenhouses Inc., a wholesale tulip growing company that ships the flowers all over the East Coast. Casey Sr. clearly knew what he was doing, having learned Dutch-tulip bulb techniques from his father in his homeland.
