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: 

🍉 Is it a BBQ without wedges of melon? Large and mini watermelons are ready to roll, cantaloupe is in steady supply and Galia and Black Seedless are arriving soon.  

🌱 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. 

🫑 Mexico growers have wrapped up their Bell pepper harvests, and a rainbow of sweet Bell peppers is coming from Canada. A little char and they're ready to top sausages or fill tacos.
