Rose Orchards

The Rose Farm is currently owned and operated by 11th generation members of the family. Robert, Al, and Dave Rose operate the farm and their families live and work here too. Since the 1600’s the Rose family has farmed the land on the Branford/North Branford town line. Over the last hundred years the farm has alternated from an orchard, which was decimated during the Hurricane of ’38, to a dairy farm, and back again to an orchard in the early ’70s. Recently they have expanded otheir offerings to include a greenhouse filled with tomatoes, other vegetables, bedding plants, and hanging baskets. In addition the family makes their own maple syrup, operates a soft serve frozen custard stand and a bakery, and is expanding their agri-tourism business.
