Asparagus
Sometimes referred to as the “food of kings”, asparagus has been cultivated for more than 2,000 years. Ancient Greeks and Romans prized both the taste and the medicinal properties they believed it to possess. Ocean Mist Farms places a similarly high value on the delicious asparagus we grow. Only the premier spears are selected to wear the Ocean Mist Farms label! Learn more about our product seasons here.
