Asparagus Grower, VIC
Meet Alex
"Asparagus is still all harvested by hand and in peak production, these fields need to be cut every 18 – 24 hours. Although it takes a long time for us to initially harvest asparagus, it can grow up to 2cm per hour in peak conditions. When choosing asparagus you are looking for firm, vibrant green sticks with minimal white. The fresher the stick, the more crunch it will have!"
Zucchini
Zucchini supply has been impacted due to challenges in growing regions.
