Our grower in Kyrgyzstan🇰🇬 has recently finished a short harvest of Walker Deluxe F1 asparagus for this spring. As the harvest slowed down, our grower began using rubber bands to identify the mother stems that will be left to grow into ferns. The unmarked spears will be harvested during the summer harvest. Stay tuned for more progress updates and witness the quality of Walker Deluxe F1 spears harvested this summer using the mother stem method.☺ #USA #Kyrgyzstan #jerseyfresh #walkerseeds #walkerasparagus #walkerbrothersasparagus #asparagus #спаржа #asparagi #szparagi #farmtotable #nj #newjersey #espárrago #asperge #アスパラガス #芦笋 #蘆筍 #măngtây #एस्परैगस #아스파라거스 #seeds #semillas #GrandF1 #AtlasF1 #UC157F1 #WalkerDeluxeF1 #ApolloF1 #PurplePassionF1 #hạtgiống #asparagusroot #asparaguscrown

This Monday, our international representative, Wenjing Chen, along with Stefano Motton from Blumen Vegetable Seeds, our exclusive European distributor, toured our existing and new trials in Puglia, Italy🇮🇹. They featured the Grande F1 and new hybrids from the Walker Breeding Program. After years of evaluation, we have chosen a few promising hybrids, which we recently planted in a new trial. We are looking forward to a short harvest from the new trial next spring, with more consistent results expected within 2-3 years. Stay tuned to our social media for the latest updates on the exciting new hybrids unveiled in the upcoming months!🤗 #USA #Italy #jerseyfresh #walkerseeds #walkerasparagus #walkerbrothersasparagus #asparagus #спаржа #asparagi #szparagi #farmtotable #nj #newjersey #espárrago #asperge #アスパラガス #芦笋 #蘆筍 #măngtây #एस्परैगस #아스파라거스 #seeds #semillas #GrandF1 #AtlasF1 #UC157F1 #WalkerDeluxeF1 #ApolloF1 #PurplePassionF1 #hạtgiống #asparagusroot #asparaguscrown

This year, the Polish Asparagus Grower Association has been organizing the annual Asparagus Press Conference for 27 years. This event marks the beginning of the asparagus season in Poland! It also helps to promote asparagus through radio and television, leading to its increasing popularity over the years. Currently, Poland has approximately 2300 hectares of asparagus plantations, ranking 6th in Europe. The Greater Poland Voivodeship stands out as the leader for asparagus production in the country. Whether it's boiled, fried, baked, grilled, marinated, or added to salads, pasta, soups, omelets, or even pizza, we have no doubt you can find your favorite dish with asparagus. No matter which country in the Northern Hemisphere you're in, don't miss the season to taste this extraordinary vegetable! #USA #Poland #jerseyfresh #walkerseeds #walkerasparagus #walkerbrothersasparagus #asparagus #спаржа #asparagi #szparagi #farmtotable #nj #newjersey #espárrago #asperge #アスパラガス #芦笋 #蘆筍 #măngtây #एस्परैगस #아스파라거스 #seeds #semillas #GrandF1 #AtlasF1 #UC157F1 #WalkerDeluxeF1 #ApolloF1 #PurplePassionF1 #hạtgiống #asparagusroot #asparaguscrown

Great news! In Poland🇵🇱, biologically cultivated Grande F1™ asparagus from Spain🇪🇸 is now available for 22 USD per kilogram. Poland has a history of consuming white asparagus, but green asparagus is becoming more popular, especially among the younger generation. Spain and Italy are the top suppliers of green asparagus in Poland during the early spring, with Grande F1™ being a widely grown variety in these Mediterranean countries. If you spot Grande F1™ at your local supermarket, snap a picture and join us in enjoying spring with delicious asparagus sharing with the #WalkerBrothersAsparagus hashtag!☺ #USA #Spain #Poland #Italy #jerseyfresh #walkerseeds #walkerasparagus #walkerbrothersasparagus #asparagus #спаржа #asparagi #szparagi #farmtotable #nj #newjersey #espárrago #asperge #アスパラガス #芦笋 #蘆筍 #măngtây #एस्परैगस #아스파라거스 #seeds #semillas #GrandF1 #AtlasF1 #UC157F1 #WalkerDeluxeF1 #ApolloF1 #PurplePassionF1 #hạtgiống #asparagusroot #asparaguscrown

Last week, Wenjing Chen, our International Representative, had a successful meeting with the globally renowned asparagus expert, Piet Beurskens, in the Netherlands. In this meeting, they discussed the latest asparagus industry news in Europe and other parts of the world. 🌎 With a deep-rooted love for asparagus, we are committed to supplying growers with superior F1 asparagus seeds and crowns. It is also our mutual understanding that it is crucial to introduce a sustainably high-yielding variety to growers ⏭, meaning that a promising variety should consistently produce good yields, NOT just in the first few years of harvests. The high-yielding ability of plants should be maintained for the long term when they are properly managed. 👏🏼 We eagerly anticipate working together more closely in the future!

Dieticians love asparagus season! Why? According to registered dietitians interviewed by today.com, a serving of asparagus contains "almost 3 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein."👏🏼 ✅Gut Health! Asparagus is one of few vegetables that contain inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber that helps nurture the beneficial bacteria in the gut and promotes better digestive health overall. ❤🩹Heart Health! Asparagus contains asparaptine, a compound that may improve blood flow and even help lower blood pressure in the process! With all of the fad diets we hear about, why not keep it simple? Indulge in the true taste of spring and boost your health with some fresh asparagus now in season!💚 . . . #USA #nj #jerseyfresh #walkerseeds #walkerasparagus #walkerbrothersasparagus #asparagus #спаржа #asparagi #farmtotable #newjersey #espárrago #asperge #アスパラガス #芦笋 #蘆筍 #măngtây #एस्परैगस #아스파라거스 #seeds #semillas #GrandF1 #AtlasF1 #UC157F1 #WalkerDeluxeF1 #ApolloF1 #PurplePassionF1 #hạtgiống #asparagusroot #asparaguscrown #WalkerBreedingProgram

This week, we attended the Indoor Ag-Con 2024 in Las Vegas. The topic of environmental concerns and resource efficiency was raised by a number of visitors. In addition to common indoor-grown crops like microgreens, edible flowers, and specialty herbs, perennial superfoods like asparagus have also captured people's interest. As we continue to advance indoor asparagus cultivation techniques, we are confident that we can offer more resilient solutions to tackle climate change and ensure food safety for our asparagus growers worldwide!🌎 . . . #IndoorAgCon2024 #lasvegas #USA #nj #jerseyfresh #walkerseeds #walkerasparagus #walkerbrothersasparagus #asparagus #спаржа #asparagi #farmtotable #nj #newjersey #espárrago #asperge #アスパラガス #芦笋 #蘆筍 #măngtây #एस्परैगस #아스파라거스 #seeds #semillas #GrandF1 #AtlasF1 #UC157F1 #WalkerDeluxeF1 #ApolloF1 #PurplePassionF1 #hạtgiống #asparagusroot #asparaguscrown

Always keep in mind the limitless potential of women. Bravo, ASLI AKSOY!
2020 yılı idi. Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığımız, tarım sektörünün performansına dikkat çekmek, ülkemizin yarınları için emek veren çiftçilere destek için Türkiye Tarım Ödüllerini başlattı. Pandemi, ardından hepimizi sarsan deprem felaketi derken, aradan epeyce zaman geçti. Çoktan unutmuştuk ki, bu hafta @fastcompanyturkey organizasyonunda ödüller sahiplerini buldu. Muğla'daki organik tarım faaliyetlerimizle, Türkiye'nin Kadın Çiftçisi kategorisinde birinci oldum(k)! Antalya operasyonumuz ile Akıllı Tarım kategorisinde ikinci olup, ayrıca gururlandık! Dayanışma ve mücadelenin bizim için en anlamlı olduğu kadınlar gününde bu ödül, emeğin bazen hemen değilse de elbet bir gün görünür olacağının bir çeşit nişanı olsun🙏 Kalplerimize bir tutam ilham, bir tatlı kaşığı cesaret, bolca güç katsın 🥰 Gerisi ötesi, zaten bizde 😉 8 Mart Dünya Emekçi Kadınlar Günümüz Kutlu Olsun! #8martdünyaemekçikadınlargünü #8marchwomensday #kadıngücü #türkiyetarımödülleri
