I'm not sure if I do, if so it's not at the local market here.
If we get it they likely pick it green, and then ruin it in a warehouse like most the stuff here.

BC summer fruit is sooooo much tastier than the winter California variety.

I have a farmers market here on the weekend, I here it's high though.
I would like to see what they have.
Yeah the California fruit anytime of year here is not so good, they ship it green, and the good flavor is absent even after ripening .

I bet, we had some good blackberries last month, and strawberries earlier.
It's a shame really that the stuff available in our stores isn't as good.
Much of it is modified foods also.

We're really spoiled up here ... things are allowed to ripen on the vine and they're on our tables a day or two later. One of the many wonderful things about living in beautiful BC!

Yeah here it's usually garbage by the time we get it, or not ripe at all.

That's true, Sharlee, one of the many things about B.C. that make it so cozy.
