Click here to add www.pickberryland.com to your favorites Berryland Asparagus Asparagus season usually starts the first or second week of May and then extends through much of June. The amount of asparagus ready to pick depends on the temperatures and weather so please CALL AHEAD for picking times and to order already picked asparagus! Bring along a plastic handled grocery bag for picking your own asparagus. You will be assigned a row. Stay in your row. Pick only and all stalks that are 5 inches tall or taller. Leave the shorter stalks to grow. Hold onto the stalk just slightly higher than ground level and give a quick snap. It will snap right where it is tender. No knives allowed or needed. You end up with fresh asparagus that is a great value to you. No wasted hard ends! Call BerryLand: (920) 826-7297 for up-to-the-minute information on picking times, what is in season, to order pre-picked or to arrange a Haunted Hayride for your school group or club.
