Todd Greiner Farms Commodities

Asparagus

Our hybrid asparagus is grown on a sandy loam soil type which is needed for the asparagus crown to flourish. Asparagus grown for the fresh market is grown to 8 - 11" in height. Our asparagus is hand snapped at the base of the spear at 7 1/2" for processing markets used for cuts & tips and spears that are IQF (Individually Quick Frozen). Immediately after harvest all asparagus is delivered directly to our facility where it is hydro-cooled, stored in our forced air coolers until ready to be packed and shipped.
