Suppliers of Fine Asparagus

We grow fresh asparagus on our farm, picked by hand to supply the most delicious, fresh, local produce we can. Asparagus is an affordable luxury, produced seasonally in the English climate. Because of the cooler climate in England, the Asparagus spear takes longer to grow and therefore the flavour is enhanced.

Ashby Asparagus is supplied from the farm gate and direct to local Restaurants and shops, between May and June.

Our asparagus is grown in Polebrook Valley, near Oundle on fertile well drained soils. To collect your asparagus direct from the farm gate, between 10.00 am and 4 pm, follow the map found here .

Ring before hand on 07702 159870 or 01832 272243 for enquires.
