Cultivation and ecology

So werden die Blumen angebaut:

• Cultivation method: Organic farming.
• Producers: Patrick and Sara Guarisco took over their farm in Wilen near Neunforn from Sara's parents. They run a diverse, innovative farm on the 15 hectares of land: in addition to asparagus, they also grow berries, pumpkins, old grain varieties and fungus-resistant "Souvignier Gris" grapes. Sara's brother and her father help them with all the work that needs to be done on the farm. This includes harvesting and preparing the asparagus every day during the season. In addition to farming, the family runs a farm store and Sara teaches yoga classes.
