Mt Pleasant Mills, United States - October 29, 2026 / Whispering Pines Fruit Farm /
Whispering Pines Fruit Farm is a family-owned bulk food store located in Mount Pleasant Mills, Pennsylvania, that has served Central Pennsylvania households since 1989. The business began when two brothers purchased a small country store that was facing bankruptcy in Snyder County. Today the store brings together bulk foods, orchard fruit, a deli, a bakery, and a full-line grocery, along with canning and curing supplies for home cooks.From a Struggling Country Store to a Full-Service MarketBrothers Jay Paul Hoover and Neal Hoover, both farmers, initially considered tearing down the store and returning the property to farmland. After speaking with the store's employees, they decided to keep it open as a farmer's market and discount grocery store. Over the following decades, the business expanded to include a bakery, a deli, a bulk foods department, and a full-line grocery.Orchard Fruit From the FarmThe farm's orchard produces apples, peaches, and cherries, which are harvested and sold in the store as each crop comes into season. Apple cider is also available. Fall marks the store's apple season, when orchard fruit is sold alongside the supplies many local households use to prepare applesauce, pies, and preserves at home.Bulk Foods, Deli and BakeryThe bulk foods department at this amish bulk food store carries spices, flours including gluten-free varieties, sugar, oatmeal, pasta, rice, alternative sweeteners, bulk candy, and fresh ground peanut butter, with many staples available in 50-pound bags.

Customers can place deli orders online for pickup. The bakery prepares baked goods from scratch daily.Canning and Curing Supplies for Home Food PreservationWhispering Pines stocks a range of canning and curing supplies for home food preservation, including Mrs. Wages pickle and salsa mixes, pickling and canning salt, pickling lime, and food strainers for making applesauce.
