About Rosy Farm
Rosy Farms bought 76 acres of Alberta’s overworked farmland in 2014. We are slowly regenerating it back to a lush environment with highly productive soil. We work with the land, not against it. We incorporate native plants into our shelterbelt and between our orchard rows. With time, this is helping us create a multifaceted ecosystem that invites all manners of life back in.
This makes Rosy Farms a unique operation and a first for haskaps. It is truly a beautiful place to grow. We believe in healthy soils, regenerative farming, and caring for our customers from the ground up. Our philosophy is to connect you with our haskaps by reconnecting our farm with nature and giving thanks for what the soil provides us.
