Swistak Farm — Attraction in City of Rome

Swistak Farm is a heaven for the lover of fresh locally grown produce. While there are a few weekly Farmer's Markets in the county, there is nothing like being able to swing by a farm stand for fresh produce picked THAT DAY. I'm personally blessed with living a short drive from the Farm Stand and take full advantage of their U-pick Strawberry (June) and Blueberry (July) seasons. Come August, you have to make their stand a weekly stop for freshly picked sweet corn and I won't even tell you about their cucumbers. I fear word will get out and I won't be able to buy them for myself! wink It's tomato and pepper (like... ALL the peppers from sweet to spicy/hot) heaven with the sweetest eggplants I've EVER tasted. Basically, in a nutshell, once the farm stand is fully stocked there is no reason to buy produce from the local grocery story till after October 30th, when they close for the season. We are talking ALL the squashes, broccoli, cauliflowers (sometimes the pretty purple ones)... and other beautiful veggies I am forgetting about. If you can't tell by my monologue, I'm a HUGE fan and so grateful to have this family-owned farm in my "backyard." While I selfishly want ALL the veggies for myself, I want more for my community to support them so they continue to thrive for future...

Visted the farm as a future farmer who wanted to get an experience of farming. The owner welcomed me in, gave me the little knowledge and advice he had. I like the fact that if I forgot to wash my fruits from him, they where already washed 😂. I loved the positive energy of the farm, that radiates to the community, nature and environment. The Fink Family, Thank you for the experience. I hope one day you will come and see my farm when it picks up 😊. In Uganda we have a saying that goes like "Onsalidde ga nkolwa" to the effect of, "You have given me the advice of the mongoose (clever advice". The advice of the mongoose saved the lives of the other mongooses. I hope that my farming skills will improve from a bit of tips you have given to transform others. Thanks again Franklin...

Absolutely my fav farm around.... And there are many close by.... U pick is great we go every year.. kids love it...very kids friendly and great prices... product is great tomatoes arent to acidy good for our older ppl with acid reflux....
