Asparagus Field Day at Schmidt Farm

"When picked right, stored right, and prepared fresh, asparagus is like the filet mignon of vegetables." Paul Schmidt of Schmidt Farm (Preston, MN) demonstrates asparagus production from beginning to end: preparing the soil, fertilizing, planting crowns, harvesting, packing, and storage.
This field day is part of the Minnesota Asparagus Project, a collaboration between SFA and University of Minnesota Extension. More resources available here: www.sfa-mn.org...
Music by Paul Schmidt.

Best asperagus video I've seen.
Most videos are geared toward a couple of plants for a garden or 50 people in California doing hundreds of acres.

Best asparagus video on youtube. The rest document themselves wasting time...dinging around with puny raised beds that grow enough asparagus to feed a mouse. Those are some nice looking crowns. Where do you get them from?

Glad you enjoyed this video! We'd recommend reaching out directly to Schmidt Farm to get more info on where they source crowns: www.myschmidtfarm.com
