About Us
About Us
We are young farmers growing asparagus and strawberries in Armstrong, BC. Established in 2020 by Henry & Tara LaRae Reimer and Andrew & Miranda Reimer, our farm company is part of BC's thriving agriculture sector. We love growing good food for our community.
Asparagus
Asparagus is the first local crop of the year! It requires specific growing conditions that are found in our rural area. We build on the hard work of past asparagus farmers who earned Armstrong its excellent reputation for asparagus.
We grow three asparagus varieties originating from Guelph, Ontario: Guelph Millennium, Guelph Eclipse, and Guelph Equinox. The Eclipse and Equinox varieties are earlier producers and have slightly thicker spears than the Millennium. Asparagus is a perennial that, if well-taken care of, can produce for fifteen to twenty years.
Our asparagus season begins in early May and lasts six to eight weeks.
Strawberries
Just when asparagus is coming to an end, strawberry season starts, beginning in late June and lasting about one month.
We grow our strawberries for their quality and taste, not for their shelf-life. They are large, juicy, and red all the way through.
