Who we are
About the farm
We have grown asparagus in Emmerich am Rhein-Elten since 1930, now in the third generation, cultivating white asparagus ("Der zarte Eltener") on 14 hectares without chemical pesticides and with fertilisation based on soil and plant-sap analysis. In season (roughly mid-March to the end of June) we sell fresh asparagus in our own farm shop, machine-peeled on request, and we also supply restaurants. Our own Nordmann fir Christmas trees are grazed by our Shropshire sheep; from November families can choose their tree in the field.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
