The One New Jersey Town With A Positively Magical Secret

New Jersey has some pretty incredible secrets, from covered bridges (Green Sergeant’s Covered Bridge near Stockton) to giant murals (the Yankee Doodle Tap Room in Princeton is home to Norman Rockwell’s largest painting), and I’ve come across another that everyone should know about.

This is Liberty Farm, and it offers a unique specialty.

Garlic! They even offer homemade garlic jelly. Producing 5 types of garlic used by gourmet chefs all over New Jersey, they also harvest fresh fruits and veggies and are purveyors of gourmet popcorn. Another unique feature is the 12 honeybee hives which lead to some sweet nectar.
But that's not their secret!

They're home to an epic sunflower maze.

With over 1.5 million sunflowers and 3 miles of trails, it's the largest sunflower maze on the east coast.

In addition to the maze, you'll find a kids scavenger hunt, build your own scarecrow contest and bug safari tour.

If you'd like to bring home a few of these beauties for yourself, there's a pick-your-own area to enjoy.

The sunflower maze opens each year from August-September; the exact dates depend on when the sunflowers bloom. A beautiful place to bring friends or family, you’ll also want to bring a camera – they have an annual photo contest. Another perk? They’re (leashed) pet friendly. Find the Sussex County Sunflower Maze at 101 County Road 645, Sandyston. For more New Jersey secrets, check out this list.
