The Thorogood family has been farming at New Moor for over 50 years, originally we grew vegetables to supply the London fresh produce markets but as the UK market for fresh produce changed we moved away from veg and moved to more conventional arable farming, wheat barley and such like .... however in the late 80's my grandfather (Geoff) thought it would be a good idea to try and grow something different and that's when my father (Pip) and grandfather planted our first asparagus bed.
Since then our business has steadily grown to what it is now, supplying restaurants, farm shops and deli's throughout Essex and London. Each weekend during the season we travel up to London to the farmers markets at Pimlico, South Kensington and Alexandra Palace. Throughout the season we pick the asparagus beds daily and our shop in the pack house is open seven days a week, so come down and get your asparagus direct from our farm.
