Asparagus for All!

We've talked to the farmers and scoped out the farmers' markets for you and asparagus season has officially reached southern and central Minnesota. Don't fret, northern folks, your time is coming soon!

Try shaving asparagus in a crunchy salad or toss it on the grill next to your steak. We even hear asparagus noodles are a thing! For the next few weeks, there is nothing we want to eat more than delicious Minnesota asparagus. Get your fill now because this harbinger of spring doesn't stick around all summer long.

Fresh Asparagus Soup

Lush and creamy even without any added dairy, this fresh soup is simple enough for a weeknight supper with some crusty bread, or serve it as a delicate first course for a spring dinner.

Mix Up Your Greens

The abundance is just beginning! While waiting for Minnesota to reach peak veggie season, make the most of fantastic spring greens as they come your way. We put together a mini-guide to greens in the current issue of Living Local magazine. Did you know swiss chard becomes mild and sweet when cooked? Head to the farmers' market to find tender greens, or use the Minnesota Grown Directory to find a farm near you!
