How It Began

For Johan Boden asparagus dishes were associated with warm family traditions because his father often cooked asparagus in Johan's childhood. To please her husband Larissa Boden decided to grow some asparagus in their garden, for her husband's birthday. And afterwards Johan willingly supposed wife’s idea.

Having no experience in agribusiness and no large areas, the Boden family started planting on the homestead property on the street Proletarian. The first white asparagus was planted in the village Luybymivka in 2007. The asparagus turned out to be very popular among friends and acquaintances. And the farm began to gradually expand.

Asparagus is an unusual vegetable. It is a perennial culture and is planted for 8-12 years. It also requires special storage conditions, and its season lasts only 2 months a year.
