Richard Snowden

I totally agree, this is THE BEST ASPARAGUS I have EVER tasted! The only thing the last reviewer missed out on was the fantastic ART GALLERY in one of their barns! Amazing! The farmer paints and has his own gallery! He sends paintings out to galleries all over the UK and beyond, when I was there he was packing 3 paintings up for Sicily! What a find– fabulous contemporary art at sensible prices!

Richard Snowden’s farm is more famous for asparagus than anything else. That’s interesting when you think this vegetable has such a short season when it’s freshly available. The reputation is justified — this is the best asaparagus you will ever taste. The season runs from early May until June 21^st — although they could pick more of the stuff after that date they don’t as they say it compromises the quality for the next year.
There’s more to this place that that of course. When in season there’s pick your own strawberries and raspberries of the highest quality (really good fun for the children I should add — mine loved it!), as well as salady things like lettuces, rocket, radishes, root veg etc.
To complete the experience go back along the dusty dirt track to the main road and see the other Snowden farm around the corner in Dunkeswick itself — the produce is organic there and just as good.
