It won’t be long now before spring flowers start blooming and at one farm in New Jersey, that means up to eight million tulips will be emerging.

Holland Ridge Farms in Cream Ridge planted 8 million bulbs for this year’s U-Pick Tulip event. The farm expanded from 153 acres to 300+ acres, making it the biggest u-pick farm in the US.

The start date of the event depends on Mother Nature and when the tulips start to bloom. Traditionally, the event opens in mid-April. Once it starts, the season is short and only lasts about 3 weeks.

Tickets will go on sale a week or so prior to opening. Tickets are sold online only for $13 a person aged 3 & up. You must choose a date and time slot when purchasing your ticket. To be the first to know about ticket launches, follow the farm on social media @HollandRidgeFarms or visit their website.

The event will still feature fan favorites such as picking your own tulips (just $1 a stem), an array of food trucks and sweet treats from their Bakery Barn, and last but not least – plenty of Instagram photo hotspots!

Holland Ridge Farms has only been opened in Cream Ridge since 2018 but its roots go back generations. Owner Casey Jansen is third-generation Dutch and speaks fluent Dutch.

He said his father, Casey Sr., came to the United States in 1964 at 17 years old as a bulb salesman. He started Holland Greenhouses, which supplied cut tulips and Oriental lilies to supermarkets in wholesale trade along the East Coast.
