For travelers who pass The Miller's Farm in White Hall during the summer, it's hard to miss! The “it” is a large field of sunflowers planted by the roadside that draws attention from everyone driving between Baltimore and Harford counties. As Jake Miller tells it, that was exactly their plan. The Millers have been farming this property since 1957 and recently expanded the operation to include a market nearby in Harford County to sell their beef and other farm products. To help draw in customers, the family planted a field of sunflowers. According to Jake, when the sunflowers are in bloom, their business increases 20 to 30 percent. To capitalize on the plants' popularity, customers can enjoy a walk through the field and cut flowers to take home.
