First of the Yorkshire Asparagus
**New Season**
The first of the season Yorkshire Asparagus is here and is totally blowing our minds!!!
We know it feels a bit early but this crop is lovingly looked after by Tom over in Hull. Grown at this time of year in a massive glasshouse which enables us to stop bringing asparagus from Peru & Mexico and instead source it from Yorkshire.
The outdoor crop grown by Richard will arrive shortly after the swallows land back on the farm. Its BOLD & THICK and tasting truly fantastic.
