Anyway if you were ship fresh produce from south america by rail (which i believe is impossible because of the Darian gap, so it needs to be on a plane at some point) (the blueberries i just bought at safeway were a product of Peru) that would be less of a carbon foot print then shipping by truck from Taber or wherever this guys greenhouse is...I don't believe that

You are ignoring the crux of the issue - the fossil fuel heated greenhouse. That is the vast majority of the carbon imprint of any piece of produce, not the transportation method.
