Innovation
Underground heating for earlier availability!
Our asparagus plants are watered with drip irrigation, but that is not the only hidden factor aiding the plant.
Two further tubes run alongside the roots with flowing warm water. These tubes heat the ground which permits the asparagus spears to grow earlier.
Sustainability
With all these tubes and technology in cultivation one starts wondering: is this sustainable?
We elaborated a way to work as naturally and sustainably as possible.
Save water!
The water used for heating flows in a closed circuit, so every drop is saved and re-used.
Protect the environment!
Our asparagus is heated with certified energy in order to preserve the quality of air, water and soil, thus also humans and the environment.
