Travel Tip:
GPS or Google Maps might tell you to turn down West Street. Don't do it! The farm lane is on the other side of the farm field from West Street along the tree line. Watch for the Local Food Week event sign.

Rose Avenue Education Farm
A ten-acre education and business incubator farm, Rose Avenue Farmers grow a wide variety of culturally specific vegetables such as Sour Leaf (Hibiscus roselle), watercress, water spinach, snake gourd, gout gourd, squash vine terminals, bitter melon, and many other interesting things! Our policy is that the farmers must use practices that are approved for organic farms.

The vegetables are sold at a Burmese Specialty Market on weekends, HEAL Farm Markets during the week, and at the Plowshares at the Market stall in Union Street Market at Electric Works and the Plowshares Mobile Market.
