About Farming in Rosedale
Rosedale sits east of Chilliwack on the Fraser River floodplain, where rich alluvial soils support dairy forage, berries, vegetables and hobby acreages. The river-bottom land is productive but can carry floodplain and drainage obligations. Productive land is partly within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
Water draws on the Fraser River system and private wells, administered under the Water Sustainability Act. Floodplain and drainage obligations should be verified for the specific parcel, as river-bottom land can carry dyke or drainage-district responsibilities.
Rosedale's farm economy is small-scale and community-oriented, sharing the eastern Fraser Valley buyer pool with Chilliwack. It offers a quiet, rural setting with productive river-bottom farmland.
