Pick Your Own Time at Rossview Farm

It’s time to pick your own strawberries and there’s no better place to visit than Rossview Farm in the western part of the city.

Don Ross, the owner of the farm, said there are about six acres of strawberry fields at the farm that people can roam around and pick from. Many families, he noted, enjoy picking as a family outing or to build memories together.

“It’s just a neat tradition,” he said. “Strawberries are sort of the first fruit of the spring. It signifies the change of the seasons.”

More and more strawberries are ripening every day with a number of varieties offered at the farm, with customers being guided to areas of the field that are the most ripe, at any given time.

“I try to keep a good mix for a long season of good picking each day,” he said.

The farm also sells fresh strawberries that have been pre-picked for those folks who don’t have time to mosey around, finding the best ones. The strawberry season will last roughly through the middle of this month and then, the blueberries begin to ripen right at the same time, he noted.

Rossview Farm is located on District #5 Road in West Concord. It is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the weekends. The farm will be open on the Fourth of July from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
