A couple of hours drive from me, is a huge tulip farm. They export both flowers and bulbs to Holland during the off-season up there.
It's an awesome sight when the flowers are all up.

Unrelated - we also have a saffron farm somewhere here, that produces and exports saffron threads all over the world. I have never been there though.
