Our History
Valley View Farms has grown from a small roadside produce stand to one of the largest, most complete garden centers in the mid-Atlantic region. We offer our customers a unique shopping experience, combining a warm, friendly atmosphere with high quality merchandise and expert advice.
Brothers Billy and Punkey Foard opened Valley View Farms on Friday, April 13th, 1962, as a produce stand to augment a large wholesale vegetable growing operation. As the store expanded in size to become the premiere garden center in the Baltimore Metro area, several year-round and seasonal departments were added that have provided a continuously dynamic shopping experience for our customers. Today, Valley View Farms is owned and operated by Billy's son Andy.
During the spring season Valley View Farms becomes the destination for gardeners all over the region with a complete selection of trees and shrubs; the largest selection of vegetable, flowering annual and perennial plants in the state; and every planter, trellis, soil or any other planting accessory necessary to help our customers achieve success in their gardens, along with an extensive patio furniture department. Our Water Garden department is stocked with water lilies, aquatic plants, fish and all the accessories any water gardener could want. In the fall, Valley View Farms transforms into a holiday wonderland, full of decorated trees, a huge outdoor lights display, and an International Christmas Shop featuring ornaments and gifts from all over the world. Valley View Farms continues to evolve and change everyday to provide the best products and services to our customers.
