Market News

We are working very hard to make Rose Creek Farms Cooperative the most convenient way for you to put locally grown food on your tables. It’s amazing what transpires each week in such a limited space and time window.

The spring weather is heating up. The produce is beautiful right now, but will only hold out for a few more days if the heat holds on. If it does get too hot alot of the greens will bolt and become uneatable.

Thanks so much for your support of Rose Creek Farms Locally Grown, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. You all are part of what makes North Texas such a great area in which to live.
