Tucked away on the southwestern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains near Lake Santeetlah on the outskirts of Robbinsville, North Carolina is a true find - the rolling acres of Stoney Hollow Farm.
This
unique family farm produces a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and
flowers and it's all available for u-pick - everything from A to Z
(apples to zinnias)! When you first
climb the gravel drive, you are greeted by pups Pudge, Rosie, Ivy, Cody
and Rocky (if they can be roused from their naps!) In the summer and
fall when you enter the barn you will see tables piled with fresh
delectable produce for those who prefer it already picked. In winter
and early spring the greenhouses remain open and offer fresh greens,
lettuces, vegetables, and herbs. See the General Store page for current availability and pricing. Stoney Hollow Farm is a wonderful place to bring the children and grandkids. It always tastes better when you pick it yourself. Grab the white plastic buckets
or harvesting baskets and you’ll be directed to the right area with
instructions from owners Scott & Stephanie Boxberger and their
family. When you return, weigh your bounty, calculate your bill, and put
your money in the freezer. Stoney Hollow Farm operates on the honor system.
Since
the bounty is so great, excess plums, peaches, blackberries,
raspberries, grapes, peppers and apples are crafted into delicious jams,
jellies, preserves and vinegars - all of which are made in small
batches using only pure cane sugar and fresh picked ingredients straight
from the farm - never any fillers, juices, artificial colors or corn
syrup. Be sure to try the delicious pies and breads prepared daily by
hand using farm produce, organic ingredients, and freshly milled grains -
they go fast, though, so come early or call ahead to place an order.
Please see the General Store page for current products and pricing. Stoney Hollow Farm is
also home to several colonies of bees busily pollinating the fruit and
using the variety of nectars to make a deliciously complex honey which
defies description - you'll just have to taste it for yourself!
The
flower garden, conveniently located next to the barn, is a haven for a
variety of beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds -
Don’t forget your camera...

If you can’t bear to leave, don’t. High atop the hill above Stoney Hollow Farm is a fabulous luxury rental home which sleeps up to 14 people and affords a gorgeous panoramic view of the Cheoah Mountain Range and the Smokies beyond. From the front porch rockers,
watch your children play on the expansive front lawn, take in the
beautiful vista and watch the family burros cavort. Out back are nature
trails leading to a natural stream, small waterfalls, and wildflowers. See it for yourself at the VACATION RENTAL page on this website.
Come visit our slice of paradise at Stoney Hollow Farm and bring your camera! You’ll be back!
