Our Upstairs "Plant Room"

We’re truly a small operation. This is where we start all of our seedlings—a spare bedroom upstairs! Baker’s racks, grow lights, and seed starting supplies fill the entire space. Right now we have flats of herbs, peppers, tomatoes and flowers. When the time is right, they’ll go out to our greenhouse. And from there, to our happy customers at our roadside stand. Stop by and check us out. Cilantro, dill, parsley, basil, arugula, and lettuce plants are there right now!

Spring Is Here!

We travel to Lancaster County next week (March 9) to pick up our pansies for sale here at the roadside stand. (We don’t grow our own; they’re really labor intensive!) Look for them the weekend of March 11-13. We’re really excited to start the spring season.

Fall Is Here!

With the hard rains from Henri and Ida, our summer garden, especially tomatoes, has ended. But it’s been a banner year for fall crops, like squash, gourds and pumpkins, as well as many beautiful flowers. And we still have tasty peppers and potatoes. Stop by and pick up your fall decorations.

A Special Order

One of our strongest sellers is our selection of fresh cut flower bouquets. Either pre-cut or made-to-order, these arrangements don’t last long at our farm stand. Stop by and see what we offer.

Another Donation To A Worthy Cause

Last Friday, Whispering Hills Farm donated a truck load of produce to the Stroudsburg Wesleyan Church food pantry. It’s was our pleasure to add our little bit to the many items donated by the community to help feed those in need. They were thankful for the fresh produce and we were glad to help.

Summer Crops Are In!

Yippee! We're open again for the summer! We have early summer crops ready to go at our roadside farm stand. Peppers, elephant garlic, candy onions, leeks, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, parsley, kale, and new potatoes are available now. And we have fresh brown eggs from our Buff Orpington chickens. Stop by and check us out.

A Forest Of Tomatoes

We’ve done it again! Just look at this forest of heirloom tomato plants. We’ll have plenty of fruit for our roadside farm stand—if nature cooperates. Here’s hoping the hot, wet weather doesn’t harm these beauties.

A Great Spring Season

Thanks to all of our customers, from near and far, who supported our roadside farm stand this spring. We’ve enjoyed serving you and look forward to the summer, when our harvests of elephant garlic, peppers, heirloom tomatoes and more become available. See you then.

It's Tomato Time!

Tomato lovers rejoice! Finally...after a cold and wet spring, our tomato plants are ready for sale at our roadside farm stand. We have more heirloom varieties than you can imagine. Some are the old standbys--Cherokee Purple, Mortgage Lifter, Brandywine. And then there are the less well-known (even to us!)--Wapsipinicon Peach, Brad's Atomic Grape, Homer Fike's Yellow Oxheart. Come see us at Whispering Hills Farm and try something new.

Friends of Cherry Valley Event

On Saturday, we participated in the Friends of Cherry Valley celebration at the Cherry Valley Winery. The focus of the event was a hike through the Fish and Wildlife property at the winery. Whispering Hills Farm donated vegetable plants for their fundraiser, something we’ve done for the past three years. Other efforts we support include a community garden in the town of Stroudsburg, an elementary school garden at Stroudsburg’s Chipperfield Elementary and (starting this spring) a classroom garden in East Stroudsburg.
