Edgar Farms Asparagus Relish  Our delicious Asparagus Relish has been selected as # 4 of 29 Great Eats & Drinks in the City in the Summer by Julie Van Rosendaal as listed in the July August 2010 edition of "City Palate" magazine. She wrote "Asparagus Relish from Edgar Farms -Burgers and dogs are just vehicles to get this stuff from the jar to my mouth, and I'm not above eating it straight-up, scooped with a spoon." Asparagus Relish is available in our farm store or at the Farmers Markets at the Innisfail Growers Booth in 250 mL. & 500 mL. jars. Stop by our farm store to check out our entire selection of home made pickles, relishes, candies, pies, fruit leathers and much more. |
Asparagus Fern  The asparagus is now growing into it's fern stage and we are no longer picking. The stand of fern that we are seeing is fantastic. This indicates that the crowns getting strong are busy storing energy so that they will produce a great crop of asparagus next year. |
