Get you thinking….doesn’t it?

When people go out and buy produce.. they probably don't even look at where they are coming from! They look at the price. I try and buy local when I can but sometimes they are out of season for us so there is no choice but to buy imported.

It isn't always because of cheap labour. (it does play a part) but it also is a little bit of of our smaller economy. We just don't have the volume to keep costs down.

I would prefer to buy local. We work very hard at our house to buy fruits and vegetables from local growers or ones from other parts of BC. Heck.. if I pay 2X more for a BC Hot House Tomato.. I will.. but that is the problem. It can be more expensive (depending on time of year)
