What people are saying about Edgar Farms’ Asparagus:

Edgar Farms asparagus is a strong argument for shopping locally. It is so remarkably better than anything imported. Asparagus is almost like a festival. It’s like the gateway vegetable to the new season.
- Chef Scott Pohorelic
Author, dee Hobsbawn-Smith, will also be doing book signings and readings of her new book at our festival on Saturday June 2 from 11 to 4 pm, and on Sunday June 3 from 2-5 pm!

[For More Information, Click Here] “In Foodshed, dee profiles 76 Alberta farmers, ranchers and producers of all descriptions. They raise a boggling number of fruits, vegetables, grains, and animals. It also sets these stories in an Alberta context, examining government programs, sustainability, animal welfare and farm labour. It’s the whole prairie picture, in one book. Furthermore, dee has a wealth of kitchen knowledge to impart, and has put together 26 of her favourite dishes, all made with Alberta ingredients.”
