Millville holly farm drives city’s nickname
Millville New Jersey, known as the Holly City, hosts one of America's largest holly farms. Clarence Wolf of New Jersey Silica Sand Co started planting in 1939, expanding to 14,000 trees. The line produces 50,000 pounds of holly monthly for distribution and exports to Canada. The crop sustains local jobs during winter with workers trimming and harvesting. Autumn irrigation and a dry summer boosted this year's yield across 13 varieties.
