As the Ontario asparagus season comes to an end, we'd like to say thank you. 💚
Thank you for choosing local, supporting Ontario farmers and making Ontario asparagus part of your spring & early summer meals.
Every bunch of Ontario asparagus represents months of hard work, early mornings, and a commitment to growing fresh, local food.
Your support means so much to the farmers who make this short but special season possible.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we'll see you again next May. 💚

Why is the Ontario asparagus season so short?! Asparagus is Ontario's first field crop each spring, appearing around mid-May. It is harvested daily, by hand, for 6-8 weeks. Then, around the end of June/early July, growers let the spears grow into tall ferns. The ferns act to replenish the roots throughout the rest of the summer season. This critical step ensures that the crop will be healthy again the following year.

There are ways to make the local asparagus season last. ️ Freeze a few bunches for soups, sauces, casseroles, and more. Simply wash and trim the spears, blanch for 2–4 minutes (depending on thickness), transfer to an ice bath, pat dry, freeze in a single layer, then store in airtight freezer bags or containers.

🥒 Or preserve the season by pickling it! Pickled asparagus is perfect for charcuterie boards, Caesars, sandwiches, burgers, and snacks.

Whether you freeze it or pickle it, now's your last chance to stock up until next spring. 💚
