There’s nothing we like better than buying fresh produce and
products from our local suppliers. And that goes for many of our guests too!

It’s strawberry season and that means a trip to Rohrbach’s Farm is a must. While its market is open from April to December, June is a
great time to visit, especially for the Annual Strawberry Socials when you can
pick your own fresh berries, and enjoy slow-smoked meats from Well Done Q, hot
dogs and homemade desserts. Rohrbach’s also raises Angus beef and offers it for
sale in a variety of options.
