Whole Foods’ sunflowers growing on Durr Farm

August 28, 2015 By Erica Muller

 

…. Jim Durr’s flower farm is the main supplier for Whole Foods stores in New Jersey, New York and Western Connecticut. His sunflowers, dahlias, peonies, zinnias and other flowers also have been in demand at upscale weddings, gracing the altar at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan. Durr says his quince will be on display at the Waldorf-Astoria on New Year’s Eve, and his orange dahlias once decorated an event at the United Nations…

Whole Foods, whose corporate identity relies as much on eco-consciousness and social justice as on its upscale products, has partnered with local farmers for its floral needs. The company has worked with Durr for the past 15 years. His Jersey sunflowers not only supply the tri-state region, they also can be found in Whole Foods stores from Maine to Kentucky…  Source: APP – Whole Foods sunflowers grow on NJ farm
