Zwischen 1950 und 1960 mussten viele der kleineren Bauernhöfe der Region ihren Betrieb aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen einstellen. Die Landwirtschaftskammer suchte damals nach Produkten, die es den Bauern ermöglichten, weiter zu arbeiten. Den Effeldern mit ihrem armen, sandigen Boden schlugen die Experten vor, es doch einmal mit Spargel zu versuchen. Zunächst misstrauisch beäugt von der Bevölkerung, begannen wenige mit dem Anbau dieses Edelgemüses. Es funktionierte und immer mehr ehemalige Bauern betrieben den Spargelanbau bald als Nebenerwerb.

Das Leben im Ort wurde durch den neuen Erwerbszweig verändert. Kannte vor 50 Jahren noch kaum jemand das kleine Dorf, das sich hinter Wald abseits der großen Straßen versteckt, so hat es sich nun durch den Spargel, das Effelder Spargelfest und den Effelder Waldsee zu einem beliebten Ausflugsziel entwickelt.

In der Spargelsaison von April bis Mitte Juni können Sie in den Restaurants im Ort den frisch zubereiteten Spargel genießen.
