About us
Rosie's Organic Farm is a 25 acre USDA certified organic farm located just 10 miles west of the University of Florida. You can meet Rosie and her husband in season (November - June) Saturdays at the Haile Plantation Farmers Market. A doctorate in plant pathology with a master’s degree in international agriculture development under her belt, Rose runs Rosie’s Organic Farm. She markets her produce through a 91-member Community Supported Agriculture program, at three Gainesville Farmers’ Markets, a regional wholesaler and an upscale restaurant. Her husband works off the farm full time as a hydrologist, lending a hand in vegetable production on the weekends, and her two young children help out at the farmers market. Rose’s diversified vegetable and cut flower operation is based on years of observing what crops both sell and grow well in her sandy soils. She plants strawberries for the CSA because the members demand a sweet treat in their boxes; she plants flowers for the farmers’ market because bouquets are the most lucrative product.
