You're Canadian.

You're Canadian. Do you buy berries...

@Centretowner

I pick my own locally in season

[angela_underscore@mstdn.ca]

@Centretowner

There are Canadian berries at Metro, eh.

@Centretowner I voted 'grown outside the US at a corporate ...', but that's only because the independent food store I go to only has (non-US AFAIK) frozen blueberries that are big/giant blueberries instead of the small little blueberries that I want in my morning instant oatmeal.

(Almost everyone has giant blueberries, I assume because it's easier to cultivate and pick them at industrial scale. I'm used to small wild blueberries and they go better in oatmeal.)

@Centretowner
Grown outside the US, and from the producer directly. Yes, even in winter. I have locally grown strawberries in my fridge today. Hot houses FTW!

[centretowner@urbanists.social]

@angela_underscore I think after 900 locations you can no longer be considered an independent store.

@Centretowner When I lived in Canada, I lived part time in the country and berries grew wild. I just ate those. The store ones have no flavour.

@Centretowner this needs an "I *wish* I was"

[momomoto@kind.social]

@Centretowner Mostly no, but will buy Canadian greenhouse-grown from Farm Boy. It’s been a couple months since I’ve been to Lansdowne, and I assume there aren’t any berry vendors this time of year, eh?

[papyrusbrigade@mstdn.ca]

@Centretowner None of the above? In winter we always have a supply of Canadian berries in the freezer. Right now it's blueberries, Saskatoon berries, and cranberries. My favourite are sour cherries, but they're so hard to find.

I eagerly await the first local strawberries of spring.
