The Northeast Counties Farm Bureau serving Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties is excited to highlight one of our valued business members who plays an important role in supporting local agriculture and strengthening our rural communities. These spotlights are our way of recognizing the businesses that invest in Farm Bureau through Group Member sponsorships and help make a positive impact for agriculture across our communities.

This week’s Business Member Spotlight is…….

Located in Geauga County, Rogish Farm was started in 2014 when first-generation farmers Bob and Amy Rogish purchased part of an old Christmas tree farm which was previously a dairy farm. Beginning with planting Christmas trees right away, they soon realized that they wanted to expand by adding blueberries and large cut flower fields. In 2020, they planted a small cut your own sunflower field, which has continued to grow in popularity ever since. 

Rogish Farm grows many varieties of annual and perennial flowers for cut flowers in addition to their large fields of sunflowers and hillside of lavender. The cut flowers are mainly sold from a self-serve Flower Wagon from the middle of July to October. Customers can find mixed bouquets, Mason Jar arrangements, single stems and bunches of sunflowers, and gladiolus at the Flower Wagon which is stocked two to three days a week. They dry a large amount of flowers throughout the summer and then sell dried flower bouquets in the fall and winter months, along with other natural decor items grown on the farm like curly willow branches. 

The farm also offers hands-on activities like pick your own blueberries, cut your own lavender in July, the very popular cut your own sunflowers in August, and cut your own Christmas trees along with pre-cut trees, wreaths, and greens. Visiting the farm for these activities has become a tradition for many families, and Bob and Amy Rogish enjoy seeing families return each year. There are plans of more cut your own flower opportunities and special activities in the sunflower field such as date nights with live music in the future.

In addition, the farm offers opportunities for professional photographers to photograph their clients throughout the year when there are large fields of flowers in bloom. They can reserve two 1949 Ford trucks for photo sessions in the sunflower fields, on the lavender hill and in among the Christmas trees. They also plant fields of flowering cover crops that can also be used for photo backgrounds. Implementing restorative farming practices like planting cover crops is something they are doing more of as they work to improve soil health.
