In-Season & Local: Asparagus

This spring, weโ€™re featuring fresh, local asparagus from Melon Acres, Indiana, a third-generation family-owned farm. With four decades of farming knowledge, Melon Acres provides fresh, high-quality produce grown with innovative technology and sustainable practices.

Asparagus is a seasonal staple that deserves a place on every spring menu. Its tender, vibrant spears lend themselves to a range of applications: roasted or grilled for smoky depth, shaved raw for crisp salads, or blanched and chilled for bright, cold presentations. It pairs effortlessly with citrus, vinaigrettes, hollandaise, and sharp cheeses, and brings texture and freshness to risottos, pastas, and plated entrรฉes.

As a family-owned distributor based right here in Ohio, Premier ProduceOne stays committed to delivering the freshest local produce and specialty ingredients. By sourcing from nearby farms whenever possible, we help strengthen the connection between chefs and growers while supporting sustainable agriculture, local economies, and reducing food milesโ€”all while upholding our commitment to exceptional quality and freshness.

Whether youโ€™re crafting a spring-inspired main or an elegant side, this locally grown asparagus delivers bold flavor, peak-season freshness, and is a must-have for chefs looking to highlight the best of the season.
