Applewood Fresh Growers LLC is excited to announce its expansion to a company that not only offers delicious, quality apples but also fresh Michigan asparagus. The asparagus season in Michigan lasts from approximately May 10th to June 25th. This is a tight window for the harvesting season, so our partner, New Era’s American Asparagus, is sharp day in and day out on production.
“We are excited to partner with New Era’s American Asparagus to bring our customers the best asparagus Michigan has to offer. This partnership is the next iteration in our strategic plan to diversify,” said Nick Mascari, President at Applewood Fresh.
Michigan is now the largest asparagus growing region in the US thanks to its unique, sandy loam soil along the shores of Lake Michigan. What separates New Era’s American Asparagus from any asparagus packing shed in Michigan is that product is cooled with a Hydrocooler immediately after harvest. The product is then placed in a cooler prior to packing inside a completely refrigerated packing room. Caleb Coulter, Owner of New Era’s American Asparagus, explained: “We keep this process as short as possible to increase our customer’s shelf life & quality of the product.”
Michigan asparagus has excellent flavor and a long shelf life. Consumers prefer locally grown asparagus so Applewood Fresh offers new marketing tools to support the Michigan asparagus program. The eye-catching marketing material includes grower and product POS, recipes, high resolution photos, and more.
