Asparagus is in season in Springfield, Vermont - Fancy News!

Springfield, Vermont, welcomes the Asparagus harvest at Eastman's Farm, in nearby Weathersfield Bow, Vermont!
Delicious? Oh yes, and worth the wait for a year or two while the experts at Eastman's Farm, in Weathersfield Bow allow the asparagus beds to rest and recuperate and have a chance to live out a full cycle during the beautiful Vermont growing seasons. Delicious? Yes. And going fast, better get to your favorite farm soon and buy a few bunches while they last.

In a way as delightful to encounter is the real life version of the honor system, a box and a bunch of bags ready for you to do the right thing here at Eastman's Farm, count fair, make your own change, and enjoy a bit of the past in doing so.
Es ya la temporada de asparagos, y son buenos este año - hace dos años que no hacen cosécha por ser necesario dejar descansar la pradera de asparagos. Igual de interesante es el método de compra y venta, que a la entrada de la granja preferida se verá una mesa con la cosecha del dia, tambien bolsas, y una caja para hacerse uno mismo el cambio de moneda para la compra - no hay guantes, y no hay empleado con el carnét de manipular el producto, pero todo esta aseado (dentro de lo que cabe ser granja), todo ya hecho en bultos a un peso, listos para escoger, usando el antiguo systema de honor.
