The Michigan asparagus season is in its final stretch, with growers expecting roughly seven to ten days of supply remaining. Tyler Hodges of Superior Sales noted the season has been well-timed, with good rainfall and cooler weather supporting solid production. Prices are strengthening as the remaining volume tightens.
Michigan asparagus is a key domestic supply source for North American retail during early summer. As the season closes out, buyers will need to pivot toward other origins — typically Washington State and imports from Peru — to maintain shelf continuity.
For produce buyers with active asparagus programs, now is the time to confirm transition sourcing. Price spikes in the final days of a domestic season can be sharp, and the gap between Michigan and Pacific Northwest volume can create brief shortages if not planned for.
