Rails: Landing Page without controller

New to rails and I need to make a homepage for my website. I have 3 controllers that will be linked to from the homepage. I don't want to create another controller for the homepage. For example:

I want homepage to be: http://samplepage.com

The homepage will link to: http://samplepage.com/apples http://samplepage.com/bananas http://samplepage.com/carrots

How do I set up the root route? I already have functioning pages for /apples, /banana, /carrots.

Ok, you can use any of your controllers to setup the home page eg:

ApplesController
  def home
    # intialize instance variable for home page here
  end
  . . . . .
end

Create view file in app/views/apples/home.html.erb

In your routes 

route "apples#home"

Take a look at high_voltage. You will still need to create single controller for your static pages but other than that looks like it what you look for.
