Rio Rico, AZ. – Starting next season, Mas Melons & Grapes will be able to supply asparagus from October through May, meaning customers are going to enjoy this delicious vegetable three more months out of the year. “Thanks to strategic commercial alliances with our growers in the state of Sonora, we now can assure our customers an over extended supply of fresh and flavorful asparagus from Mexico,” said Miguel (Mikee) Suarez, salesman at Mas Melons & Grapes.
Mas Melons & Grapes asparagus are typically packed in a stalk in both 11 lb. and 28 lb. foam-lined plastic cartons to protect and promote freshness and flavor all the way from the packing facility to the market.
During the West Mexico season, thousands of Mas Melons & Grapes asparagus are meticulously handled throughout the entire distribution chain to ensure cold chain integrity while keeping the quality, flavor and safety at the highest international standards to keep both customers and consumers around the world satisfied.
“Our goal is not to become the largest asparagus grower and distributor out of Mexico but one with a focus and commitment to quality and flavor,” said Miguel (Miky) Suarez, president of Rio Rico, AZ-based Mas Melons & Grapes. “These asparagus are grown only 170 miles south from the US border by Alberto Vanegas who is also a partner in Mas Melons & Grapes,” added Miky.
Over the years Mas Melons & Grapes have developed very close relationships with a network of the most recognized Mexican growers, who are extremely knowledgeable and comply with all food safety and quality requirements, so every fruit and vegetable grown and marketed by Mas Melons & Grapes is a guarantee for their customers.
