I cant see the soil in your area being red as there has been recent glaciation in the area in the last tentthousand years or so.
I would also imagine the rocks would be of the round smooth cobblestone types.
If I am right and the ph is correct after a soil test and the application of proper amendments you could be sitting on a gold mine of a garden.
I have grown awesome plants on soil that was on top of grey potters clay with about 8 inches of sandy lome gravel stuff.
Dont underestimate the soil until you have tried.

My "clay" turn into awesome soil. Except for paper and mulch, all the work was done by earthworms. I am pretty lazy
