Get Ready for Grilling

Make way for the melon bin and get the briquettes front and center: Memorial Day Weekend will be here before you know it, marking the unofficial start of summer and kicking off the season’s grilling holidays. Shoppers will be looking for the classic barbecue fare, organic Northwest grown goods to add some regional flair and anything to eat on or around a hot dog. Don’t wait to stock up on the flavors of the season: 

🍉 Nothing says BBQ season like a cold slice of melon. From juicy large and mini-sized seedless watermelons and exceptionally tasty Ladybug Brand® black seedless watermelon to sweet cantaloupe and honeydew, with fun yellow-fleshed varieties adding a pop, organic melons are ready to steal the show. 

🌱 A kiss of the grill brings out the sweetness of mellow Northwest grown spring onions, a perfect topping for burgers and dogs.  

🍑 Peaches make for a great dessert in cobbler or pie, of course, but if your shoppers haven’t tried a grilled peach and scoop of ice cream? Now’s the time to wow their friends.  

🍄‍🟫 Whether they’re a plant-based option, a topping or a side, grilled Portabella mushrooms are a delectable staple of Northwest barbecues. 

⭐ Beautiful green and purple Northwest grown asparagus is in good supply, and all they need is a little char to be your side dish star.
