Michigan asparagus grower Ralph Oomen recently spoke with students about what it takes to keep produce fresh from the farm to your plate. Our growers work to get asparagus from the field to the cooler within two hours of harvest, helping preserve the quality of every spear.

Awesome job, Shelby FFA! 👏

It may be starting to feel like fall, but Michigan asparagus growers are already preparing for spring.

Throughout the summer, asparagus ferns capture and store energy that helps fuel the delicious Michigan asparagus spears you’ll find in grocery stores next spring. Our growers take great care of their ferns all season long to help ensure a strong, healthy crop come May.☀️

Every year, 500 million spears of Michigan asparagus are hand-harvested. We’re grateful for the hardworking people who make it possible, from the field to the grocery store, and every step in between. 🌱
