Yeah we get some frozen but have to be careful there still. At least we try to make sure it's a Canadian brand/packaged in Canada. The strawberries are probably still grown in the USA, but if we can at least support Canadian workers in some way, better than nothing.

The reality is berries have a short season.

Sometime products will rotate. You might like cherries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries in the frozen section of Empire or Loblaws.

For Costco, there is only frozen blueberries for frozen fruit from what I remember.
