From the end of this week Sainsbury’s stores will be taking its first delivery of British Asparagus tips from a Staffordshire-based supplier.
The variety comes from Sainsbury’s Asparagus supplier, The McGuffie Family at New Farm Produce Ltd in Lichfield who will harvest around 280 kilos of British Asparagus Tips for Sainsbury’s over the next week.

Julien Roberts, Sainsbury’s Asparagus Buyer adds: “We know being able to buy British produce is important to our customers and so it’s wonderful that they are able to enjoy British Asparagus as early as Easter. The asparagus is handpicked, packed and delivered to store as quickly as possible to make sure shoppers can enjoy the vegetable at its very best”.
