Growing British Asparagus
Growing British asparagus is a labour of love. Each spear is harvested by hand when it reaches just the right height.
A cool, crisp spring, not too wet, not too dry means that we should be on course for a great crop.
Our fantastic asparagus growers are behind the delicious spears we’ve come to expect.
