Meet the
2022 Asparagus Queen
Welcome to West Michigan, where we take pride in our wonderful agriculture. Oceana County, known as "The Asparagus Capital of the Nation", is one of the leading areas for asparagus growth in the entire country! We've been celebrating asparagus since 1974 and nobody does it better. We are the longest running asparagus festival in the country and 2022 marks the 49th festival. Come join us!
Want to keep up with the Asparagus Queen? Stalk us on Facebook for the latest news and to see what we've been up to.

Board Meetings/Work Sessions are every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:00pm at our NAF Office in downtown Hart. Meetings are open to the public and we would love to have more community members involved! Meetings may be virtual, so please contact us for details and the link.

Interested in volunteering? The NAF is in need of volunteers for a wide variety of events & tasks! Volunteering is a great way to network, make a difference in your community and discover new talants you didnt know you had! We have lots of opportunities from helping out with merchandise, to assisting with a children's activity & even designing website pages! It also helps students build their resumes & qualify for scholarships that require volunteer hours! Contact information is at the bottom of this page.
The Annual Meeting is the 2nd Tuesday of October, 6 pm at the NAF Office. Officers are elected and committee chairs are assigned. This is the perfect opportunity to meet the board and join a commitee!
