Asperges d'Alsace

Ferme Maurer, located at the lieu-dit « Lange Gewann » in Dorlisheim (67120), is a family-run farm welcoming visitors all year round to its direct-sale shop and restaurant. It grows seasonal fruit and vegetables — strawberries, asparagus, tomatoes, cornichons d'Alsace, pumpkins, potatoes — sold through short supply chains, alongside local produce and Alsatian specialities. The website states that the land has been farmed in accordance with organic farming principles for 15 years, with 100% of the cornichons, 80% of the tomatoes and more than 50% of all vegetables certified organic.

Ferme Mathis describes itself as a family-run holding based in Hoerdt, near Strasbourg, specialising in market gardening and cereal production for nearly five generations. It is particularly renowned for its asparagus — a true source of local pride in Hoerdt — and also offers a wide range of fruit and vegetables, sold fresh, preserved, as prepared dishes, and as other specialities in the farm shop. Boxes can be ordered by telephone during shop opening hours, from Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00 to 12:00.

The holding brings together two family farms in Illfurth, operated under the name SCEA Boetsch-Wolf: the Bœtsch farm and the Wolf farm. It offers pick-your-own asparagus and strawberries, as well as other seasonal fruit and vegetables — potatoes, beans, soft fruit — sold directly at the farm.

The farm introduces itself as "Ferme Dollinger", offering produce it describes as "100% farmhouse", fresh, high quality, and seasonal. It is located at 39 rue de la République in Hœrdt (Bas-Rhin).

Sales are organised around weekly boxes — a farmhouse box (fruit and vegetables for one to two people) and a gourmet box (for three to four people) — complemented by seasonal offerings: fruit box, organic box, asparagus box, and choucroute box. The online catalogue also offers products arranged by category: fruit and vegetables, meat and charcuterie, pasta/flour/cereals, poultry and eggs, cheese and dairy, savoury and sweet groceries, delicatessen, and drinks.

Orders can be collected directly from the farm (Wednesday 12:00–19:00, Thursday and Friday 9:00–19:00, Saturday 9:00–15:00), as well as from some fifteen collection points across the Bas-Rhin (Reichstett, Haguenau, Hœnheim, Geispolsheim, Kilstett, Schweighouse-sur-Moder, Wahlenheim, Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Strasbourg, Ostwald, Brumath), or via home and workplace delivery on Thursdays and Fridays.

The Coopérative des Fruits et Légumes d'Alsace presents itself as the joint marketing organisation for growers in Bas-Rhin, marketed since 2005 under the 'Les Jardins du Ried' brand. It traces its origins back to the Société des Planteurs d'Asperges de Hoerdt, founded in 1891 by 28 growers following Pastor Heyler, who had introduced asparagus cultivation to the sandy soils of Hoerdt as early as 1869; the Coopérative de la Tour, established in 1923, became the Coopérative des Fruits et Légumes d'Alsace in 2010 upon absorbing the Coopérative agricole des planteurs d'asperges de Lampertheim.

Today, it brings together around a hundred permanent member producers and 80 occasional growers, based within a 40-km radius of Hoerdt. Since the 2015 acquisition of the fruit and vegetable trading arm of Sarl Geng, 190 stone-fruit producers from the Westhoffen area (cherries, mirabelles, quetsches, plums, walnuts, redcurrants) complete the range under the 'Les Vergers de Westhoffen' brand. The cooperative claims adherence to the specifications of the Interprofession des Fruits et Légumes d'Alsace (IFLA), with quality inspection ('agréage') upon each delivery and traceability back to the grower; it employs 18 permanent staff.

The produce marketed includes white, green and purple asparagus, grown and harvested from April to June.

Based in Woellenheim, in the heart of the Kochersberg, Ferme Nonnenmacher is a family-run farm that has upheld Alsatian culinary traditions for nearly 40 years, specialising in the rearing and force-feeding of ducks. It claims 70 hectares of crops, the rearing of around 14,000 ducks a year, and the production of 120 homemade products, including 18 tonnes of asperges d'Alsace grown, harvested, and processed on site.

Its duck foie gras range includes semi-cooked tunnel foie gras, plain poached lobe, and whole raw foie gras, alongside duck specialities (fresh, smoked, and confit meats, pâtés, terrines, Fleischschnaka) and seasonal fruit and vegetables preserved as homemade jams and tinned produce. The farm offers direct sales at its on-site shop as well as a catering service.

Ferme Jost is a white asparagus producer based in Bilwisheim in the Kochersberg. It cultivates two asparagus fields with contrasting soils — one in Brumath, on early sandy ground, the other in Bilwisheim, on later loamy soils — allowing the harvest to be spread from early April to mid-June. The farm has since diversified into strawberry growing. Its farm shop complements the range with local produce from other regional growers and makers — delicatessen items, fruit and vegetables, meat, charcuterie, dairy products, cheeses, bread, and viennoiseries.

Ferme Mehn grows asparagus in Pfulgriesheim: its 5 hectares of fields lie about a kilometre from the farm's historic buildings in the centre of the village. The farm is run by Jean-Pierre Mehn, the former mayor of the commune, who was joined several years ago by his daughter Michèle, who has since taken over its management. Harvesting takes place every day from mid-April to mid-June — with around 350 kg of asparagus sorted and graded daily — for direct sale at the farm, both white and green, fresh, peeled, or jarred. Ferme Mehn is among the producers listed by the PGI (IGP) Asperges d'Alsace sector.
