Produce Wholesale - Ottawa?

2017-11-04T22:40:41.000Z

Hey y'all, I just moved to Ottawa for work from Northern California and I'm struggling to find the best place for wholesale produce here. A co-worker recommended Farm Boy as the best place to buy retail--I'm gonna check them out soon and I'll report back, but would prefer to buy by the case.

Best Canadian Cities/Communities to be RAW?

2013-09-12T06:48:49.000Z

What are the best places in Canada for being fully raw? Where is the best/less-costly fruit available and maybe a slightly warmer (in Canadian terms) climate? Produce co-ops, preferably organic of course? and even, maybe, public transit for those living without a vehicle so as to afford more rawness? :)

Thanks for any suggestions! Namaste.

( Background: I'm currently living in Sackville, NB and am a year away from graduating with my B.A. (not that I'm counting the days or anything, *ahem*). Barring any disasters, after that I'll be moving somewhere in the country with my S.O. - it kind of depends what grad school he gets into. My plan is to work for at least a couple of years before going back to school if at all, but I'm not sure where I'd like to work either ... so basically we are both very indecisive at this point. But I'm assuming it'll be in Canada, maybe out West where he's from. I'm trying to think ahead because fruit availability would be a big deciding factor for me! I am tired of such measly availability as we have in my small Eastern-Canada town. :P )

HALIFAX FOLKS! (or anyone in that area) Wanna meet up? :)

2013-05-24T20:34:24.000Z

I had plans to stay with a friend in Hali for a week or so on my way from NB to NL, but for various reasons these plans appear to be falling through. Now, my options are either to stay in Sackville, NB for an week, OR come to Halifax anyway and look for new friends! :) I know there are a few 30BaD-ers in Halifax, though I haven't connected with you in person yet. So if anybody is free, literally anytime next week or weekend, I'd be extremely down for a mini-fruitluck, visit to local markets, or meet-up for a nature walk, or something else! I don't know Halifax too well but I'd like to see more of it. Hit me up =D

Love n' peas!

FOOD IRRADIATION Law in Canada

2009-06-08T05:38:50.000Z

Just some info..What foods are currently permitted to be irradiated and sold in Canada? Currently, onions, potatoes, wheat, flour, whole wheat flour, and whole or ground spices and dehydrated seasonings are approved for irradiation and sale in Canada.Health Canada is proposing regulatory changes which would expand the list of irradiated food permitted to be sold in Canada. The proposed additions are: fresh and frozen ground beef, fresh and frozen poultry, prepackaged fresh, frozen, prepared and dried shrimp and prawns, and mangoes. Permitting irradiation on these foods will assist the food industry in enhancing the safety and quality of these products, while providing consumers with a product with a longer durable life.i wonder though if irradiated food still enters Canada, even with this law..i think i would be naive to assume it doesn't..:\What do you guys think?You can read additional info here
