“We’ve been growing Guelph Millennium for more than 10 years now and it continues to represent a high proportion of our production. The variety is remarkably consistent in terms of yield and has spears that make it really stand out amongst other varieties in terms of tip closure, diameter, and straightness. Our farm does not have the lightest of asparagus soils, but Guelph Millennium performs well in these too.”
