Welcome to New Park Farm Asparagus Green asparagus grown in Kent and sold throughout Kent to Farm Shops and at Farmers Markets. Traditionally the first available fresh vegetable of the English season, asparagus is eagerly awaited. From the end of April it will appear at farm stalls and in Farm Shops. Supermarkets now have green asparagus on their shelves all year round from around the world; typically these lack the delicate taste and, of course, the freshness of asparagus grown in our temperate climate. The growing of asparagus is a labour of love and patience. From the rich manuring of the initial trenches to the daily hand cutting of the crop in season, attention to detail is richly rewarded. The cutting season is from approximately May 1st to June 20th |
