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

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

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.

One of the benefits of the failed cannabis farms I guess lol

I wonder if they're using failed pot farms. From what I've seen of those places, that's going to be the most secure and carefully climate-controlled lettuce ever grown.

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

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

Yep, I just ate some. Good stuff.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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.

Silly me, assuming all of Canada lives in Ontario. Still nifty, and I'll have to keep an eye out for these in my local Ontario grocers too.
