20 ACRES OF FOREST, FIELD,

AND DEEP RED CLAY

Rose Produce is a market garden farm and wild expanse, situated between the towns of Carrboro and Hillsborough, NC.

Here we grow herbs, fruit, and vegetables for food, medicine, and craft.

  • CSA: Join Herb Club! A 7-month culinary and medicinal herb CSA that runs from April-October each year.

  • Carrboro Farmers’ Market: We’ll be at market every first and third Saturday, April - December 2025.


Our produce should be
an expression of this land, and our time on it.

To do this we tread lightly, using hand tools and our bodies to plant and cultivate our beds. There’s no tractor, and not many modern implements, just two pairs of hands and a lot of determination. Our first priority is maintaining a right relationship with the land, observing and contributing more than we take.

Our Practices


History

Seated on ancestral Eno and Occaneechi land, the farm dates back to the early 19th century when it was known as the Davis Homeplace. In the early 1800s, the land was settled by James and Josephine Davis, serving as a family homestead that was passed down in their family for nearly 200 years thereafter.

In its heyday, the homestead housed a 19th century cotton gin, corn mill, and blacksmith shop. While cotton was not grown on the property, the farm more likely served as a community hub for other small farmers to process their harvests.

In 2020, Weston and Payton Rose were fortunate to acquire the property from the Davis family, hearts set on preserving the spirit of this place for future generations.
