We get a lot of fruit and vegetable produce out of California and out of Florida. the majority of our lettuce, tomatoes and unions come out of the States, Avocados out of South America.

There are a lot of good locally grown lettuces year round. You should buy them for the freshness alone, let alone to buy Canadian.
