Pick-Your-Own Asparagus

 

Our Practices 

Asparagus is a perennial. And, yes, you can pick your own asparagus!

  • Through careful management, a single patch of asparagus may continue to produce for years.

  • Our asparagus is never sprayed with pesticides. We cultivate the patch several times throughout the spring to control weeds mechanically.

  • After the harvest season, we allow the patch to grow wild. In the fall, we mow the thick vegetation down, adding a natural mulch to the soil.

  • The asparagus aka “grass” is the first plant to emerge in the following spring.

 
 

Picking Season

The season typically runs from the beginning of May through early June.

Check In & Out at the Farm Market
227 Pitcher Lane, 7 days a week, 10a-8p.

*Market closes at 8p. Picking open during daylight hours.

Picking Tips

  • Asparagus grows straight up out of the ground.

  • Grab the stalk about an inch above the ground and bend until the asparagus snaps. And voila! You have a fresh stalk.

Price

Priced by the pound. There is no entry fee. You pay only for what you pick.

*No dogs in the asparagus patch please to avoid contamination of the ground level stalks.

Pick your own asparagus on our farm in Red Hook, NY in the beautiful Hudson Valley!
