Roses Berry Farm llc

We are hoping that this is the end of the monsoon season at Rose’s.  Strawberry season was very disappointing, but now that we we are picking both raspberries and blueberries, sunny days are indeed here again!  we look forward to a great blueberry season and the raspberries are very promising.  Breakfast is still going strong every Sunday from 8:30-1 pm. The seasonal topping is now blueberry.
Our hours for this month are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 8 am to 5 pm, Thursday 8 am to 8 pm and Sunday’s 9 am to 5 pm.  We close the fields to new pickers 30 minutes prior to closing.

It’s taken a while but strawberry season is finaly here. If you want strawberries now is the time to pick. With any luck the weathermen will be wrong and we’ll be able to pick for the upcoming weekend. We plan to be open at our stand on Hebron Ave. for picking Monday through Firday 9 am to 6pm and Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 5 pm. At the home farm on Matson Hill our hours are Wednesday 8 to 5 pm then Saturday 8 to 5 pm and Sunday 9 am to 5pm., weather permitting. Please call our infor line 860-633-7467 the day you plan to come to make sure we are indeed open. Enjoy the season!

It is a wonderful sight to see the sun after so much gloom. Our berries need a whole lot of sun and warmth to ripen them so we hope mother nature will be kind to use for the next few days. Strawberry season will have an uneven start. We hope to be able to pick a few within the next week for our markets and by opening day for Breakfast with a view we hope to open for picking. Please check our info line at 860-633-7467 in another week to see how they’re coming along. Until then, we’ll have to be content with the other local offerings: asparagus, rhubarb, greens, cucumbers and radishes.

Morning has come and most of our plantings appear to have  survived the mild frost with little damage.  The sun is out and they are promising wonderful weather for the rest of the week.  That is good news sinceour strawberries need a healthy dose of sunshine to bring on the crop.  I predict that the strawberries should be ready around June 12 this year.  Until then we have a great supply of our own lettuce, spinach, basil and Swiss chard.  Asparagus is plentiful and rhubarb had just started.  Every week will bring more additions.  Stay tuned…
