Ok, so I've nailed yeast down to Instaferm, which is made by a company out of Montreal. The problem is, I can't really find it locally (Durham Region, Ontario)!

Our Metro says "out of stock", and all other places are online.

Are there any known retailers of this stuff? It's frustrating that stores like Sobeys don't have online ordering so you can at least see what they carry.

I live very close to Foodbasics, Nofrills, RCSS, Freshco, Metro, Sobeys... and of course, American stores like Walmart, which I'm sooooooo over by now. LOL

I've never tried it but almost did during Covid: you can use brewers yeast if you get desperate and I believe there are quite a few Canadian suppliers for that.

I use yeast all the time (daily), so I'd rather look for a long-term solution.

I think I may need to simply order it online (from a Canadian supplier) and deal with the fact that I'll be paying shipping. I usually sock up and freeze it, so it would be a "bulk" order.

Nice! I also found a place in Whitby, and I may visit them on the weekend since they're closer. 😁
