For over 100 years, the Spears family has cultivated the rich soils of Adams County, Wisconsin. What started as a humble farming operation on County Road E has blossomed into Wisconsin's only 37-acre asparagus farm.

A Legacy Rooted in Hard Work

Our farming story began with great-great-grandparents who understood that the land in central Wisconsin was special. The combination of fertile soil, proper drainage, and a climate perfect for asparagus cultivation made this region ideal for growing premium produce.

Passing Down Tradition

Each generation has contributed something valuable to our farming operation. Grandparents learned the intricacies of asparagus cultivation. Parents expanded the operation and invested in quality. Today, the 5th generation carries forward traditions of hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

"Farming isn't just what we do – it's who we are. Every season, we're continuing a story that began long before us."

— Spears Family Philosophy

Looking Ahead

The 6th generation is already showing interest in the farm. Children ride alongside parents during harvest, learning the rhythms of the land. It's a beautiful reminder that our work today plants seeds for tomorrow – both in the fields and in the hearts of those who will carry this legacy forward.
