The Meyer Lemon, first brought to the US from China in 1908, is thought to be a cross between a true lemon and a mandarin orange. The Meyer tree is small, reaching 6 to 8 feet at maturity. It flowers intermittently throughout the year, but the main season of fruit production is the spring. The lemon is a medium sized, round fruit that has a beautiful golden yellow color. The edible skin is shiny, and smooth with small pores. The rind of the Meyer is thin, and the fruit very juicy, and less acidic than that of true lemons.
St. Fairsted farm will be offering a wide variety of vegetables, fruits and herbs for the 2012 season. The produce is naturally grown. We are not "certified organic"; our only certification is hard work and honest sweat.

We are please to be hosting "Taste of the Tropics" the last weekend of the month through the summer. We offer free space to vendors to be able to have a nice variety of individuals participate. I always start with a theme, like July was supposed to be "Mangoes!", however once the vendors start calling it seems to take a direction of it's own. July's theme now seems faith based. Which is ok. We can all use some positive support from a higher source.

Rolling Hills, it is so much more than a business name. It is our Home. Out the backdoor, we grow heirloom nursery stock. Step out the side gate and you enter our orchard and edible landscape. Walk up to our front door and you pass beds of flowers, herbs and botanicals that will one day be handcrafted into an artisan tea, sea salt or cut bouquet at a local farmers market, specialty market or independent retailer.
