Thanks for visiting our website! Being fifth generation farmers, we know what it means to start with a high quality plant. We strive to deliver an excellent product to our customers and get it there on time. Spring is a very busy time here on the farm and we are always on-the-go trying to meet our deadlines. Through years of research, we have cultivated a selection of what we believe are some of the best varieties out there. Things like yield, disease tolerance and taste all go into what we look for in evaluating new varieties. Our fields are monitored very closely for weeds, insects and disease. Eliminating these help to deliver a superior product to you.
Enjoy your purchase and best of luck in the coming growing season! - The Walkers
About Our Company
Walker Brothers, Inc. is a family-owned agricultural business in operation since the mid 1800's. The fifth-generation owners have experience and knowledge in all aspects of the asparagus industry. We have over 40 years of experience in fresh market asparagus production, 30 years in asparagus crown production and 25 years in hybrid asparagus seed production and marketing.
Over the years we have expanded into other fields such as strawberry plug producers for the plasticulture system and manufacturers of high tunnels and greenhouses.
Although we have years of working with the asparagus industry worldwide, we are still a family operation that offers personal service to our customers. We understand what quality means! Delivering quality products and experience is the Walker Brother's main goal in helping their customers become successful farmers!
