| One farm is on Rte. 62 in Concord, close to the Bedford line, and
the other one is on Rte 117 in Maynard, close to the Sudbury line.
They aren't farm stands -- they don't sell vegetables. There's
just a farmhouse and a barn, with a sign saying Asparagus Farm on
the barn.
Because that's such an unusual name for a farm, I was just curious
about why they both have the same name. Couldn't be just coincidence.

| 162.5 | it's "relatively" close to me... | NETMAN::DISMUKE | Chocolate lips don't lie... | Thu Jun 22 1989 15:03 | 12 |
| You may be in luck -- my uncle owns the one in Maynard. It used
to be a farm way back - when he first bought it he was restoring
it back to it's original condition. I can get more details on it
if you have specific questions. The place is really beautiful -
he has since quit on the restoration (the old divorce bit), but
he does maintain his property beautifully. He rents out space in
the old barn for storage and lives there with his young daughter
and various pets. If you ket me know what you want, I'll ask him
for you.

| On a related subject, I've heard that the PK complex was built on an
old asparagus farm. At one time, the greater Maynard area must have
been popular for asparagus growing.

| Is there an active asparagus farm nearby? Or even an individual
plot which might be visible from the road?
We think we might want to start a bed, but we want to know what
it looks like before we choose its location.

It will look like a bunch of asparagus stalks sticking up out
of the ground. Asparagus grows much like a weed, and if not
cultivated regularly might start appearing beyond its garden
boundries. I looked at some houses near old asparagus areas
and where the lawn was not maintained, still had growing up
wild.
