Cheese Factory
Opening in 2010 will be our first year for a brand new Cheese Factory, Bakery, and Bulk Food Store. This excitement is going to be like nothing else ever seen at Rockome Gardens. When you come to Rockome Gardens in 2010, on you right you will see a gigantic tower designed to look like a piece of cheese. Next to the tower, Rockome will boast its NEW "Rockome Food Store" lined with amish buggies from local amish families parked entering the Food Store. Entering the Food Store, you will be engulfed with aromas from the Amish Bakery, Candyshop, Meats, and Cheesebarn.
We're making Rockome a better place in 2010, see you there!!!
