🪴Produce Pick of the Week🪴 

Welsh Bros Premium Local Asparagus (Code 8220)

It’s a short-season chef fave, local premium asparagus from Welsh Bros is finally here. Hand-picked daily and hydrocooled for max freshness, these sweet, tender spears are field-fresh and ready to show off. Get it on your menus while it lasts!

We dropped by Welsh Bros on Day 1 of harvest and got the inside scoop from Charles on what makes their asparagus truly next level.

Why Welsh Bros Asparagus Hits Different:

• Picked Fresh Every Morning: They walk their fields daily (sometimes twice) to make sure they grab spears at the perfect height—9 inches—so you get tight tips, great texture, and killer flavour.

• Chilled Fast, Stays Fresh: Spears get hydrocooled right after picking (basically an icy shower) to lock in that snap and extend shelf life.

• Local & Lush: Harvested just a day before it lands in our warehouse, and the next day it hits your kitchens. Fresher, tastier, and less travel = lower impact.

• Perfect Growing Conditions: Sandy soil and cool Norfolk nights = sweet, tender stalks every time.

• Farmed by Pros: The Welsh family’s been doing this since the 1850s. Safe to say they know a thing or two about growing damn good asparagus.
