It’s been one heck of a year. And with everything we’ve put up with, it’s safe to say we could all use a little sunshine right about now. Fortunately, the folks over at Thompson Strawberry Farm predicted the public’s need for some sunshine and planted more than two million sunflowers!

Thompson Strawberry Farm is located in Bristol, just 10 miles from Kenosha.
