Canadian produce, yes please 🥰
A vast variety of produce can be found in Canada. Search out small local farms. They're disappearing at crazy rates here in Nova Scotia including ours. They could use your help and in return you will get fresh local seasonal fresh food.
We still grow all our own food homestead style and grow everything from greens to peas and beans, potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, cukes ,melons, squash and even fruit and nuts like figs peaches, plums apples cherries, hazelnuts, walnuts. We just planted an almond tree this year. We have so much I don't know if I could list it all.
We also forage mushrooms, berries and plants and sometimes sell bits of extra we may have.
A lot is possible.if you support local.
Yes, all of those items.
BC bud.
I've noticed Canadian grown and commonly available produce in my area also includes rutabagas, radishes and mushrooms. Some greens like romaine lettuce has been available for a few weeks now too.
Unfortunately the majority of produce in the stores around me are still American.
There is also out-of-season produce from Mexico. I'm not sure of the price difference - I didn't even look - but it solves some problems.
As boring as it may be, I prefer to just stick with Canadian produce. My food already has to travel great distances within Canada alone.
Absolutely the most environmentally friendly option.

I suppose I have it easier in British Columbia as we have a good climate for growing variety with easy access to the pacific.
Though one thing I do wish I could find is Granny Smith apples.
Granny Smith apples with dark green skin with white specks are my absolute favourite. Smaller Honey Crisps are my second favourite. I don't think I get any other apples after those two.
Beaverberry brand maple syrup, I put that shit on everything.
Romaine lettuce and peaches from BC
Check out altgrocery.ca for a list and map of farmers markets across Canada.
Cherries are known to be growing in Norway for many hundred years.
I can't find BC cherries in Montreal, we only seem to get US cherries.
I bought some BC cherries today (in Winnipeg)
Lucky
You can find all of those
BC strawberries are my absolute favourite fruit in the world. I literally count down the days to the farmers markets so that I can go buy local strawberries every weekend in the early summer. I never purchase strawberries otherwise.
At the markets I also find potatoes, green onions, lots of varieties of kale, cauliflower, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, squash, cucumbers, bell peppers, zucchinis, asparagus, carrots, and a lot of other leafy stuff that I don't know the names of.
The BC government has a website that tells people what's grown locally and in season which lists some I've missed: https://buybc.gov.bc.ca/eat-local/whats-in-season/ (it also has some recipes that feature BC-produced ingredients.
