British Asparagus (250g)

This first-of-the-season British Asparagus is sourced from Spilman's family-run farm in Thirsk, Yorkshire. Spilman's asparagus is all planted by hand in May and is cropped two years later.

The secret to their great tasting asparagus is the pride they take in carefully planting, plus the sandy soil that it is grown in. The asparagus roots are able to dig very deep down into this sandy soil.

Once the asparagus is ready, it is all picked by hand and carried in baskets straight to the packhouse, where it is sorted, cut and prepared by hand whilst it is fresh. It is then bundled ready for sale the same day to Wellocks, meaning that it is delivered to you within 48 hours of being picked.
