The Grey County soil, a generous clay loam, is the lifeblood of this place, its fertility a visible testament to generations of careful husbandry. The story of Rockford is deeply entwined with the agricultural bounty of its surroundings, a legacy stretching back to the pioneering settlers who first carved their homesteads from the wilderness.
