Three weeks ago Loblaws did a massive special on Driscoll’s strawberries.

Last week, that supply chain seemed to be filled with Mucci’s strawberries from Ontario.

I presume they’ve been hard at work in their supply chain across the board like this, and likely aren’t alone.

Yea but those Mucci strawberry’s are still more than likely grown in the US, at least at this time of year.

They give the address of the hydroponics greenhouse in Ontario they’re grown at, so I don’t think so.

This is really cool. Besides the US being malignant, fresh berries in the winter are typically air freight (they don't last long enough for a truck ride from California) and that significantly increases the carbon footprint of the product. Growing them in a local greenhouse addresses both problems!

I'm shocked at how much greenhouse stuff there is, actually. I was preparing to subsist on canned stuff whenever the US cut us off.

I've found that there are multiple greenhouse lettuce growers in Alberta, of all places.

Well, I’m in BC so that footprint is larger for me than if they came from California. But I’m still happy with the change.
