Can any members in either the capital or Constanza locate a supplier of fresh asparagus?

I know there is a market in Santo Domingo but it is restricted to members and I believe it is supplied via Constanza.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd expect it to be imported. Even in the US, it's very seasonal, mostly available in spring to mid-summer. My dad has a patch that's over 30 years old.

Asparagus is hard to find even in the US. It appears here in Miami in May through mid-June and then sometimes in October we see Chilean asparagus. They sell it canned and in jars all year.

Bravo had it for the past 7 weeks but it's now unavailable from their source. It was in excellent condition albeit slightly expensive at 240 pesos per pound bundle. I can get it from California via Amazon but with shipping it will cost around 60 US per pound.

Supermarkets barely have it, and when they do its not very fresh since it looks a little wilted sometimes. Another thing is that is expensive
