A Delicious Tradition: peptides&elephants Celebrates Annual Spring Outing

Kremmen, Germany, 17.04.2026 – Gathering for a seasonal lunch during the regional asparagus season is a cherished tradition at peptides&elephants. This week, the team continued this annual ritual with a trip to the well-known asparagus farm in Kremmen

While the spring weather moved the gathering indoors this year, the team enjoyed a wonderful lunch in a unique setting inside a charmingly decorated tent. 

The regional asparagus harvest is a seasonal highlight in Brandenburg. For peptides&elephants, this annual outing serves as an opportunity to step away from the laboratory and office routines, connect across departments, and celebrate the team's strong community spirit.
