A historic farm in Concord is gaining notoriety thanks to its pick-your-own sunflowers.

Since 1918, Verrill Farm has kept its 200 acres in the family. But the history of the land dates back even further.

"This land has been farmed for hundred of years," Jen Verrill said. "There's old tiles in the ground that were used for drainage that are still there."

Verrill told WBZ-TV that her grandfather originally operated the grounds as a dairy farm. Over the years they've transitioned to fresh produce , and today they're becoming popular thanks to their stunning sunflower fields.

"We've tried different varieties over the years, and this year kind of narrowed it down to about six varieties that we think are the prettiest, so we have multiple colors," Verrill said.
