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
Asparagus FernThe 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.
