The Whistle Pig Pumpkin Patch is a 135 acre farm just outside the town of Noxen. It is nestled at the base of Schooley's Peak and adjacent to Bowman's Creek. The farm began in the 1870's as a dairy farm and is now being developed into a "pick your own" operation by the Field family. The farm is currently growing strawberries, summer and fall red raspberries, black raspberries, blackberries, pumpki

ns, and gourds. In the fall, there are hayrides, a corn maze, and rustic campfire outings in our wooded picnic areas. We are easy to find, just a short distance off the main highway between Dallas and Tunkhannock. From the Kingston/Wilkes Barre area:

Take 309N into the Back Mountain. Just past the McDonalds get in the right lane. Vear right following 309 at the traffic light near the Dallas Shopping Center and the old Friendly's restaurant. Go 7.8 miles, watching for a sign that says "To 29 South". At the bottom of the hill, turn left onto Lutes Corner Rd. Go .2 miles and turn left onto 29 South towards Noxen and Harveys Lake. From Harveys Lake:

Take Rt. 415 (near the old Hanson's Amusement Park) 1.2 miles to Route 29. Continue straight/slight right onto Route 29 north, towards Noxen. Proceed 3.1 miles to the center of town and make the sharp right turn following route 29 north. Proceed .7 miles to our farm. We are about 400' beyond the bridge and the United Methodist Church. From Tunkhannock:

Take Rt. 29 South. Approximately .25 miles after the Bowman's Creek Shell station, Veer right following Rt. 29 south towards Noxen and Harvey's Lake. Proceed 2.0 miles to our farm. Look for the signs!

As of 1pm today (Saturday, June 13th), we are starting to get picked out. We will be open Sunday, June 14th from 8am to 1pm picking at 3369 SR 29 S in Noxen, picking will be light but there are some berries out there. We are closed Monday, June 15th. I think we will be open for another week or so of picking, but it really depends on how things look as we go, so check back before coming out to the farm.

We will be open Saturday, June 13th from 8am to 5pm picking at 116 Dry Creek Lane in Noxen. Picking is okay, the berries are smaller but there is a decent quantity of them. Not sure yet on Sunday, it depends on how much ripens up.

In other farm news, all of our pumpkins are in the ground. We plant 3 acres of pumpkins into mulch by hand which takes less time than you think. Pumpkins grow really well with the mulch so we put all of our gourds and weird stuff on it. Our raspberries are looking good so far!

We will be picking Friday, June 12th from 8am to 1pm at 3369 SR 29 S in Noxen, our main farm location but on the side of the road with the house and garage. We will have okay picking, larger berries but not a ton of them due to deer damage to the plants. We will be picking Saturday, June 13th at 116 Dry Creek lane in Noxen, picking will be okay there as well. I'll make the call about Sunday when we see how picked out we get in the next two days.

Strawberries are $2.60 per pound, have your containers weighed at the red building before picking. We have rhubarb patches at both farms, it is $2.15 per pound. We take cash, check and credit card.

Also some folks have asked about our email newsletter. We found out this week that the emails we've been sending haven't gone out, so our IT department (Joel) is working to figure out what went wrong.

We've got a bunch of unripe berries, taking their sweet time ripening. We will be closed Thursday, June 11th to let the fields rest and ripen and will be open Friday, June 12th from 8am to 1pm, not sure what field yet but likely to be at 3369 SR 29 S in Noxen. The signs will be up to point you in the right direction! We will be open Saturday June 13th, 8am to 5pm.

Berries are $2.60 per pound. Rhubarb is available as well for $2.15 per pound, just ask at the register and we'll point you in the right direction.

We will be open Wednesday, June 10th from 8am to 1pm picking at 116 Dry Creek Lane in Noxen. Picking will be very light but I expect the hot weather Thursday and Friday will ripen more up. I think we'll be open both of those days since it looks like afternoon thunderstorms, so the hours will likely be 8am to 1pm but check back before you come out to the farm to pick. Strawberries are $2.60 per pound and we take cash, check or credit card. Bring your own container to be weighed at the register before picking or you can purchase a container at the register.

We will be open Tuesday, June 9th from 8am to 1pm at 116 Dry Creek Lane in Noxen. Picking will be light. I know these are different hours than expected but we don't have the amount of strawberries to keep up with folks coming later in the day. Wednesday, June 10th is likely to be 8am to 1pm but it depends on what the weather looks like in the morning with the rain. Thurs and Friday, June 11th and 12th we are likely to be open 8am to 1pm but please check back in case we get picked out!

I suspect overall picking will be light this whole season but the heat Thurs and Friday should make for okay picking. That's probably a good time to come if you want enough for jam picking but you may have to pick more than one day to get a good quantity.

-Blackberries (Under renovation, no crop in 2026) - We need to trial a cold hardier variety and find a new location for them, we've had a lot of crop losses due to winter low temperatures. It will take a few years to get a large enough planting established
-Elderberries (Under renovation, no crop in 2026) - We are getting a new variety since the current one has disease problems and we are losing plants. It will take a few years to get the plants grown large enough to produce a crop.

Okay, we are very picked out for today (Saturday, June 6th) there's not much left! We will be closed Sunday and Monday, June 7th and 8th to let the patch recover. We will reopen Tuesday, June 9th from 8am to 5pm. The picking should improve next week as the next field gets going and more berries ripen. Thanks to everyone who came out to pick today!

Opening tomorrow and I'll be honest, it will be very light picking to start now that we know what is ripened up. More of "a quart or two to enjoy the first berries of the season" rather than jam picking. If you want any significant quantity of berries, come out next week. It will improve some next week but the frost hit us hard and it's just going to be a lighter picking year overall.

We'll be open 8am to 5pm tomorrow, Saturday June 6th but if we get picked out, we might not be open on Sunday, so please check back before making the drive out.

We are not doing any picked quart orders this year. Starting next week, the next varieties should be ripening up and we'll be open Tuesdays to Sundays 8am to 5pm.

We will open Saturday, June 6th from 8am to 5pm for our first strawberries of the season! We will start picking at 116 Dry Creek Lane in Noxen. Picking will be light the first few days but should improve mid-next week. Sunday, June 7th we will be open 8am to 12pm due to rain. The rest of the strawberry season, we will be open Tuesdays to Sundays 8am to 5pm, weather permitting. We are always closed on Mondays.

Overall, the crop will be a little lighter than usual due to the frosts this spring. Our strawberries started flowering April 18th and we had a 20 degree frost event on April 20th that damaged buds that hadn't opened yet.

Berries are $2.60/lb for pick your own and the season should last three weeks or so. Bring a container to pick into and get it weighed before picking at the little red building or if you don't bring your own container, you can buy a quart basket or bucket to pick. Please check the latest Facebook post, our website or call the answering machine 570-298-0962 to get updates on picking quality, location and hours through the season!

Rhubarb is available to pick while we are open for berries, ask at the register and we can point you to it for picking! It is $2.15 per pound. Maple syrup and local honey are available at the register.
