The rest of the time, it is from Peru, Aust, NZ, Mex, Calif, or Washington.
Not a lot of people grow it commercially locally.

Meant to say closer than Mexico, like when it's from Washington state it's not that expensive.

Canadian economy is taking a vacation along with commodities market and you guys worrying about cauliflower and asparagus's price. Talking about priorities.

What do you think is the most important thing people spend their money on?
People need food more than iPhones and gas.

Most things food wise (grown not manufactured) will be going up in price if they haven't already. Doesn't just have to do with our weak dollar but also what is happening in the world.
California had most of it's production cut almost in half last year because of the drought. They're one of our big suppliers for vegetables and nuts. And this is happening all over the world.

Canadian banks making good coin off of giving shitty exchange rates for those selling USD.
