Baby Robins

A Little Farm Magic at Whistle Stop Peonies

Spring on the farm always brings the sweetest surprises! During our open days, so many of you stopped to admire more than just the peonies — that cozy little robin's nest tucked in the corner of our barn became a favorite spot. We all got to watch the proud parents busily feeding their three hungry babies, and in just 7 to 9 days those little ones found their wings and flew off into the world. It warmed every heart that saw it!
Well, the nest is full again — four brand new robin's eggs are waiting to hatch, and this time I may be the sole audience… but honestly? I wouldn't have it any other way. There's something quietly magical about watching new life begin, right here among the peonies.
Meanwhile, the work never stops! Mona is out in the fields deadheading the peony plants — and with the number of plants we have here at Whistle Stop Peonies, that's no small task!
Our last Farmer's Market was Thursday, but we still have beautiful peony stems resting in the cooler — perfect if you're dreaming of a stunning bouquet! 💐
And don't forget — bare roots for Fall planting are available to order now at whistlestoppeonies.com (http://www.whistlestoppeonies.com)
Questions or bouquet orders? Reach us anytime at [email protected] — we love hearing from you! I hope you have a wonderful summer.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited Whistle Stop Peonies this season! The rains had other plans for us this year, wrapping up our blooming season a few days early — but oh, what a season it was. We are so grateful for every single visitor who walked our field and took home a little piece of peony magic.
Now the hard (and rewarding) work begins: field cleanup! But before we close the books on this year's blooms, we have a few more chances to get fresh peonies into your hands:
🌿 Wednesday, May 20 | 11:30am–5:30pm Farm fresh peony bouquets at Moonshine & Lace on the south side of Kirksville's square — while supplies last!

🌿 Saturday | 7am–Noon Our final Farmer's Market of the season in Kirksville, MO. Come see us one last time!
Peony season may be fleeting, but those breathtaking blooms and that unforgettable fragrance? Absolutely worth every single day. Want to grow your own slice of heaven? Bare root peonies are available to order online at www.whistlestoppeonies.com — delivered to you at the end of October, just in time for planting. Don't miss our spotlight variety: Lemon Chiffon — a stunning, large pale-yellow bloom that is a true showstopper and a must-have for any peony lover's garden. https://checkout.square.site/merchant/6SS2J4WPNCX7R/checkout/4RB67C2OMA2RLZ5G2SA47JAM
