Asparagus Fair and Lily Show on 29 and 30 May with the theme 'Time flies', because this year 30 years of asparagus will be grown at asparagus farm De Weerd in Raalte. After years of experience, our knowledge and love for the Salland asparagus is very great and we would like to pass this on to the people. We provide guided tours/workshops according to everyone's wishes. You can view this on our website: www.deweerdraalte.nl or contact us by phone. On the occasion of our 30th anniversary, we are organizing a grand Asparagus Fair and Lily Show on 29 and 30 May with a surprising theme. During these open days, in addition to explanations about the cultivation and our ultra-modern sorting and processing system, salland asparagus can be fully enjoyed again. Restaurant Oortwijn from Heino and Restaurant de Bökkers Mölle from Olst will again take care of the delicious asparagus - lunch dishes, snacks and drinks. There will also be Salland companies present who would like to have their regional products tasted and promoted. The little ones are also thought of by means of a bouncy castle, face painting, etc. In addition to the complete asparagus cultivation, we would like to expand our other industry; show the lily flower bulb cultivation. We have managed to obtain many beautiful branches of lilies in all colors and sizes, which will be picked up by a very experienced arranger in a special theme. It will be two informative days, in a cozy atmosphere, taste, eat and enjoy the beautiful colors. Admission is free and there is ample parking. In short, this is not to be missed!

When father Ogink started growing asparagus in 1963, everything was still done by hand. His successors, Herman and Annie Ogink, have invested heavily in the most modern technologies that optimally guarantee the quality and taste of this refined vegetable. At the beginning of this year, Marliek (daughter of Herman and Annie Ogink) and Martin Zieleman also became co-owners of the company. Almost all top restaurants in the Salland region like to buy asparagus at Tuinderij Ogink. In addition to a modern, computer-controlled sorting machine, Tuinderij Ogink uses the latest peeling machines and packaging techniques, so that the asparagus ends up super fresh on your plate. Every year, about 15,000 young asparagus plants are released. For optimal growth of the asparagus, heat regulation is applied. Special white and black films ensure controlled growth. Thanks to the special heating technology via plastic tunnels, Tuinderij Ogink also knows how to get the delicious asparagus out of the ground early in the season. Buyers who want to prepare the daily fresh products themselves at home, would do well to take a look at the website www.oginkasperges.nl where tips and recipes can be found for a true asparagus gourmet. Tuinderij Ogink is once again raffling off a number of asparagus dinners among its customers this year, including a dinner at Librije's Zusje (Zwolle). When purchasing €15,- (or more) of asparagus or products (wines, ham, butter) buyers can fill in a participation voucher. The draw will take place on Saturday 19 June. The presentation of Tuinderij Ogink will, as usual, take place again on Sunday 25 April at Landgoed Den Alderdinck in Laag-Zuthem near Heino.
