A Premier Pick-Your-Own Strawberry Farm Located in Maine's Scenic Belgrade Lakes Region
Pick Your Own Strawberries at Rome Strawberry Patch
Greetings from Rome Strawberry Patch! Our farm is located amidst the beautiful Belgrade Lakes at the base of French Mountain in Rome, Maine. Our family has been growing strawberries for 24 years, and we are dedicated to producing the very best tasting strawberries in the world! Learn more about our secret for producing "the sweetest berries".
When you arrive, you will receive a friendly greeting and brief instructions on our flag marking system, which will guide you to the best picking of the day. Our well-kept farmstead and weed-free fields will make your strawberry picking a pure pleasure.
For your convenience, we provide 8-quart picking trays for serious berry pickers, quart baskets for picking smaller quantities, and pint-sized baskets for the kids (so they can feel good about picking their very own berries). Strawberries are weighed and sold by the pound.
We have everything you need for a fun day of picking berries in the country with your family. Cold drinking water and restroom facilities are located on the premises. Whether you are an old friend or a first-time visitor, we are looking forward to seeing you in the patch this season!
From the Blueberry Patch
Our native wild blueberries grown in coastal Down East Maine are small and sweet (this isn't the large high-bush variety). They are harvested at the peak of ripeness and rushed into an Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) process to retain their shape, texture, deep blue color, and that "just-picked flavor".
Our blueberries are available in 10-pound boxes by special order only. Orders are due August 19, 2009, with a delivery date of August 21st at Rome Strawberry Patch. To order your blueberries, please print and fill out a blueberry order form today!

We appreciate every order. Some people ordered 4 boxes with many people getting single boxes. This was our biggest response ever for blueberries. Thanks to everyone.
Enjoy the berries, now and throughout winter! See you next year.
