Jumbo & Colossal Asparagus
Grown by Roscoe in Stockton, California

Jumbo and Colossal Asparagus has arrived from Roscoe, a true harbinger of Spring. These are some of the most tender and flavorful spears you’ll find. While some large and jumbo asparagus can turn woody or tough as it grows bigger, Roscoe’s impressive asparagus remains delicate and full of sugars.

Asparagus is extremely weather-dependent, cold spells can completely stop growth which is why Roscoe calls it “a strange animal.”

The size of the spears is determined by a number of factors, including the vigor of the plant. Healthy, young plants tend to produce thicker and longer spears, while older crowns will grow thin shoots. Roscoe takes them to the next level with ideal growing conditions and careful monitoring of spears, waiting until the right moment to harvest.

Overwintered Parsnips
Grown by Rosendo in Hadley, Massachusetts

Just a few weeks remain for Rosendo’s Overwintered Parsnips. These are unrivaled in their sweetness thanks to many months in the ground.

This season was difficult for Rosendo’s harvest, as late frosts and freezing temperatures through March delayed his ability to dig these roots by several weeks. The extended time in the ground and colder temperatures, however, made for some of the best Parsnips we’ve tasted, as the roots were forced to convert their starches into sugars to survive.
