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 )

Calgary Wholesalers

2011-07-26T07:13:35.000Z

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if there was anyone from the Calgary area that knows of any good wholesalers in the city or area that sell to the public? I thought there was a discussion on this awhile ago but I can't seem to find it, any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

Bulk Bananas

2011-07-11T15:56:01.000Z

Sorry I know there have been a bunch of forum posts about how much Americans pay for bulk banana orders, but how much are you guys paying for up here in the Great North? I just put in my first order for a case (40lb) of organic fair trade bananas and got them for $38 which I thought was pretty decent... but then again, I have no idea. What kind of price should I actually be looking for? Thanks!

What kind of bananas are good in the winter here? (ontario)

I cant seem to find any decent bananas anywhere. I recently stocked up on what I could find just by hitting up a few grocery stores.. I bought some dole, some del monte, and some organic... I ripened them in paper bags, and they should be perfect today, but they all taste so bland :( I never had this issue over the summer!

Someone had suggested to me to order some 'fair trade' ones from zehrs, so I might do that.

Just wondering what everyone else does? I'm sick of these bananas! lol
