From our fields to your fork.

It takes a full year of love and care to produce the six weeks of harvest we enjoy every year. From planting new crowns to the final cut at the end of the season, we work in an seasonal cycle that sees us producing the most delicious, fresh asparagus for you to enjoy. 

 

We're proud to supply our produce to many fine establishments around the country. And we're also proud to be a fixture at the heart of the local community, welcoming back so many lovely customers to the farm shop, year after year. 

​

Here's little bit about what goes into growing (probably) the best asparagus in the world 😉

Grown & maintained all year round

For such a short window of time, a lot of preparation and maintenance goes on in the background! We take care of our asparagus fields all year round, planting new crowns, looking after established ones, controlling pests and weeds and giving the plants all the care and attention needed to produce the best quality asparagus, come harvest time.

Harvest time

As we head into April, our Tip Top Team assembles ready for 6 weeks of hard work and big laughs. Our team, new and returning get to work every morning through the season, harvesting the fields and picking the best quality spears.

Washed, weighed & banded

Fresh from the fields, our asparagus is taken back to the pack house to be washed, graded by size, banded and packed. The team hand sort all the spears, discarding the wonky ones to make sure every bunch is top quality.

Ready for sale

All washed and weighed, our asparagus is packaged up, ready for sale. Loads of boxes make their way into restaurants, cafes and other venues across Yorkshire (and further afield) but we also reserve a selection especially for the Farm Shop. 

 

You can choose from different varieties and grades, including our 'soup bags' - a little wonky, bit still fresh and delicious!
