I called it the marigold farm not far from where I lived, when I was a kid. I could see a sea of marigolds blooming - countless of them.
They were, I was told were commercially grown, for sale I never got to visit that farm but just admired it from a distance.
I have grown marigolds in my garden and they did well - not a farm but just a few plants.
Marigolds have a plesant smell and they also keep pests away

That’s a beautiful blend of colors. It looks like the marigold farm is doing well financially, especially since it’s being operated on a large scale. With its vibrant variety of marigold colors, the farm serves a dual purpose—not only does it generate income through commercial sales, but if it’s expansive enough to welcome visitors, it could also attract tourists who want to experience its stunning display in person.

Just like the tulip farms in Amsterdam which I missed by just 15 days while I was on tour

Mom always grew marigolds along the edges of the garden to keep wild animals from eating the garden plants and crops. (Marigolds also kept me away from the edges of the garden because I didn't like their odor, either.
