Local Asparagus


For the second week, we have local Asparagus (organic & conventional) on the order page. Asparagus is a springtime delicacy and the season is just getting started in North Carolina. The best asparagus is fresh and that means LOCALLY grown. Asparagus loses edible qualities rapidly after harvest and quickly develops fiber. Most grocery store asparagus is trucked in from Mexico or California and that means it has spent days in a truck enroute to you. Our asparagus comes from local farms in eastern NC, and is as fresh as you can get without growing it yourself. There are lots of ways to prepare asparagus, but the simplest cooking may be the best! Just steam them just until they sag and then dress them with good olive oil, lemon juice and coarse salt!
