Welcome

Asparagus at Red Barn is grown on an elevated, south-facing bank of the Yeo River where swans glide by on the water and kestrels hover overhead.
This will be our first full harvest from approximately St George's Day (23rd April) to Mid-summer Day (21 June). We look forward to seeing you at Red Barn Farm Shop because asparagus is so good for you we want you to make the most of it!

Asparagus Facts & Downloads

Fresh asparagus is exceptionally delicious. But it’s not only good to eat, it’s good for you. It is one of nature’s most nutritionally, wellbalanced vegetables , full of vitamins, fibre, trace elements and folic –acid and what’s more no fat or salt!
Asparagus is simple and versatile to cook. The more simple the cooking process the better it will taste. Steaming is the easiest method, but Asparagus can be boiled, roasted and barbecued. It is a complementary vegetable to meat and fish as wells as adding flavour to sauces and egg dishes.
England’s temperate climate allows the spears to grow slowly, adding flavour to their natural goodness. The season is short — so make the
most of it!
