Can't believe thats not local
Today at the grocery store I thought I would buy some canned pears beacuse our tree didn't yeild enough for much preserving this year. I was so surprised that I wasn't able to find anything local. There was pears and peaches from places like china and Guatamala. Nothing from Ontario, let alone Canada. Needless to say I certainly didn't buy any, and will definately be seeking sources. I may have to contact a farmer friend for their own preserves.....No local preserves at the local grocery. Sad, very sad.

This will break your heart... in the last few years nearly half of the peach trees in Niagara have been pulled out. Why?? Because companies are not canning Ontario fruit. Why?? Because they can ship it in from Guatemala and China much cheaper. See? Heartbreaking!
