Our Bird Man returns

Once again, Eric Swanson from Falcon Environmental, is at the farm with his troupe of falcons and hawk to patrol the farm for unwanted birds. Non-native species of birds such as Starlings and English Sparrows can do an incredible amount of damage to our blueberries.

Our blueberry season is in full swing and the raspberries are still producing very heavily. It’s a great time to come to the farm, learn about falcons and also get some great berries.

Eric flys his birds on a regular basis to keep the birds from getting comfortable at the farm. The objective is to make the farm a hostile place for them to be so they go elsewhere.
He is more than happy to show you his birds and to explain how he approaches bird control at Rose’s.

Sunny days are here again!

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.
