A new era has arisen in the seed and plant industry for the Walker family.  Jersey Asparagus Farms, Inc. is downsizing and will only market and sell Jersey Asparagus Seed.  Walker Brothers, Inc will now be responsible for the marketing of the plants along with their newly acquired asparagus seed varieties.  At the International Asparagus Symposium held in Lima, Peru on October 29, 2009, an announcement was made regarding the transference of the production and marketing of asparagus seed varieties bred by Brian Benson and produced by California Asparagus Seed and Transplants, Inc. (CAST) to Walker Brothers, Inc..  The Walkers intend to begin marketing and selling these highly demanded seed varieties in 2011.  The varieties transferred over include Atlas, Grande, Apollo, UC 157 and Purple Passion.  The Walkers will also be selling the asparagus, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, rhubarb, horseradish and goji plants. 

We are very excited to meet a new group of customers through our latest venture and to also remain in good standing with our past ones.  We, the Walkers, are known for our family owned agricultural business in operation since the mid 1800's.  As fifth generation owners, we have experience and knowledge in all aspects of the asparagus and plant industries.  Our goals are to produce high quality hybrid asparagus seed and to provide our past, present and future customers with the depth of our experience and outstanding service.  We have over 40 years of experience in fresh market asparagus production, 30 years in asparagus crown production and 25 years in hybrid asparagus seed production and marketing.
