Caring for your Rosemary
As winter approaches, we get a lot of questions about how to take care of Rosemary plants. After all, we are known for the Jumbo Rosemary plants we grow and sell each year. So to help you take care of your plants during the cold season our resident herbal expert took some thyme out of his schedule to write up some Rosemary growing and care suggestions. Hopefully they will help you keep your plants growing and healthy for years to come. Please let us know if you find them useful!
Attention Union Square Customers
Starting in April 2008, a 2-year construction project will begin in Union Square displacing many of your favorite farmers on the North end of the market (including Stokes Farm). Please look for us in our new (temporary) home on the South end of the market, across from Whole Foods. For more information, please visit NYC Greenmarket.

Our Business is "Growing"
We have come a long way since Isaiah Stokes bought 40 acres of property in Old Tappan, New Jersey in 1873. Over the past 130 years, we have gone from a wholesale vegetable farm to a retail-based specialty herb and vegetable producer. We currently operate 35,000 square feet of greenhouse space (and more is on the way) where we produce over 75,000 4.5" flowers, 5,000 hanging pots and 4,000 bedding plant flats each year.
