Description
Holland Ridge Farms got its roots opening the first Tulip Festival in April 2018, on central New Jersey farmland, now the largest on the East Coast. The tulip fields planted on over 50 acres of beautiful grounds, and the farm, which sits on over 153 acres, boasts lovingly restored barns, housing something special for everyone including a few furry barnyard friends.
Fourth generation tulip growers from Holland, with the youngest Jansen always helping in the fields. This abandoned dairy farm, and all it's potential, had been on the watchful eye of the founder, Casey Jansen, Sr. He came here from Holland over 55 years ago making his mark in New Jersey, cultivating tulips in greenhouses for wholesale markets. Acquiring this farm in Cream Ridge was a challenge and also his lifelong vision. Colorful tulips can be seen everywhere each Spring in Holland and now in New Jersey, the beginning of his dream, Holland Ridge Farms. All with a little touch of Holland for everyone to enjoy. Pick a basket of tulips at the largest U-Pick spot on the East Coast.
The day I was there, it was one pm and there was bright glare from the sun, not the best light for photography. As a result most of the tulips were in harsh light and the images were blown out. So I decided to make lemonade from lemons and use digital software to achieve a "painterly" effect. I liked the first image and decided to do the entire gallery with this effect. I like it, I hope you do.
