Scott Thompson usually grows strawberries in the summer and pumpkins in the fall at Thompson Strawberry Farms, but this year, he swapped those crops and planted 2-million sunflowers instead.

When the pandemic hit, Thompson and his wife wanted to make their customers happy, while following safety guidelines, so they came up with sunflowers as a solution. The millions of blooms can be safely picked by people in their 15-fields on 22-acres all while social distancing.

“I’m just glad we get to have a business people are happy to come to,” the farmer says. “And what a great way to social distance and … smile, basically.”
