Traditionally the first available fresh vegetable of the English Season, asparagus is eagerly awaited. The asparagus season is approximately from the 1st of May to June 20th . We grow green asparagus in the Garden of England, supplying our own shop, local shops, hotels and restaurants. We sell at Farmers Markets throughout Kent and in London , see Farmers Markets page for location and dates.
We established our first asparagus beds in 1988 & over the past 21 years we have refined our asparagus growing & production techniques. Varieties have come & gone & yet some beds are now in their 10th year.with our favourite varieties.
In 2003 we commenced soft & cane fruit production: to compliment & to extend our asparagus season and we now grow a wide range of fruit and vegetables all available from the farm shop.
