Edgar Farms grows delicious, sweet and tender, fresh asparagus, locally that is available from mid May to the end of June.

Asparagus has less than four calories per spear. It is very high in vitamins A, C and folic acid. When we pick our asparagus, we snap it off, so there is great tasting asparagus and none of the tough par. Our asparagus i hydro-cooled in zero degree water to remove field heat and maintain freshness longer.

The minimal amount of weed control herbicides are used after cutting is finished for the season so no sprays are used for 10 1/2 months before snapping begins again. Stand the bundle of asparagus on 1" of water in a jar in the fridge and cover loosely with a plastic bag. Our asparagus will keep for at least on week.
