Sandy and Heather Pattullo have been growing asparagus and sea kale for almost 30 years, supplying some of Scotland and the UK’s finest restaurants from their specialist farm. Ten acres puts Eassie Farm among the country’s largest asparagus producers, and their crop is one of its most highly prized by restaurateurs and by locals who visit the seasonal farm shop through which Eassie sells half its harvest. Asparagus comes into season between early May and the end of June, and sea kale, most of which goes down to London’s Covent and Borough markets, is harvested from January to March. In Scotland you'll find it on menus at the Kitchin in Edinburgh, Perthshire's Monachyle Mhor and Little's Restaurant in Blairgowrie.
