Produce Wholesale - Ottawa?

2017-11-04T22:40:41.000Z

Hey y'all, I just moved to Ottawa for work from Northern California and I'm struggling to find the best place for wholesale produce here. A co-worker recommended Farm Boy as the best place to buy retail--I'm gonna check them out soon and I'll report back, but would prefer to buy by the case.

GTA Fruitluck Meetup Group

2013-09-18T00:06:07.000Z

Hey there,

After the WFF this year (and then going to CSW right after that too) I've really grown to enjoy the 80/10/10 community and so to help it grow bigger here in Toronto, I've started a fruitluck meetup group. Currently I've scheduled a fruitluck on Sept. 28 at High Park, and hopefully will aim to have at least 1 fruitluck each month if possible. It's 100% free to join, so if you are in the GTA, why not sign up? http://www.meetup.com/GTA-Fruitluck

Best Canadian Cities/Communities to be RAW?

2013-09-12T06:48:49.000Z

What are the best places in Canada for being fully raw? Where is the best/less-costly fruit available and maybe a slightly warmer (in Canadian terms) climate? Produce co-ops, preferably organic of course? and even, maybe, public transit for those living without a vehicle so as to afford more rawness? :)

Thanks for any suggestions! Namaste.

( Background: I'm currently living in Sackville, NB and am a year away from graduating with my B.A. (not that I'm counting the days or anything, *ahem*). Barring any disasters, after that I'll be moving somewhere in the country with my S.O. - it kind of depends what grad school he gets into. My plan is to work for at least a couple of years before going back to school if at all, but I'm not sure where I'd like to work either ... so basically we are both very indecisive at this point. But I'm assuming it'll be in Canada, maybe out West where he's from. I'm trying to think ahead because fruit availability would be a big deciding factor for me! I am tired of such measly availability as we have in my small Eastern-Canada town. :P )

Fruit luck in Guelph!

Hey all! Looking to have a fruit luck at my house in Guelph, anyone interested??

WFF Ride-sharing from Canada

2013-06-30T18:20:19.000Z

I know that there is already a ride-sharing forum through the WFF website, but it isn't very active yet - which is a problem for those of us who have to buy flights ASAP if we can't carpool at least part of the way.

So I thought I'd prompt some discussion about which of us are coming from any part of Canada to go to WFF 2013, and who might want to offer or receive a ride!

Ex) I'll be coming from Newfoundland, but stopping over in Toronto or Montreal. If any fruity folks are passing through or leaving from one of those places and could give me a ride, that'd be awesome! I can repay you with gas money and scintillating conversation (heh heh)!

Peas :)

HALIFAX FOLKS! (or anyone in that area) Wanna meet up? :)

2013-05-24T20:34:24.000Z

I had plans to stay with a friend in Hali for a week or so on my way from NB to NL, but for various reasons these plans appear to be falling through. Now, my options are either to stay in Sackville, NB for an week, OR come to Halifax anyway and look for new friends! :) I know there are a few 30BaD-ers in Halifax, though I haven't connected with you in person yet. So if anybody is free, literally anytime next week or weekend, I'd be extremely down for a mini-fruitluck, visit to local markets, or meet-up for a nature walk, or something else! I don't know Halifax too well but I'd like to see more of it. Hit me up =D

Love n' peas!

This group needs to come back to life!!

2013-04-07T17:53:22.000Z

Ah I came to this website hoping to find like minded people in my area and make some new friends and was so disappointed to see all of the Canadian and West Coast groups/chats seem to be fairly sleepy. Unless I'm missing something?? Where is everyone! Say Hi (:

Buying Fruit Online in Canada

2012-12-31T06:22:37.000Z

Hello everyone! I'm just starting a raw vegan lifestyle, and I would like to buy fruit in bulk. Local farmers dont have much variety, and I need things that arent grown in Canada so I figured buying it online would be the best option. Unfortunatley I cant find any sites that ship to Canada. I would really appreciate it if someone could recommend a good supplier, thanks! :)

Vancouver Wholesale- Are there any out there?

2012-09-05T21:34:39.000Z

Hello!

I am new to the 80/10/10 lifestyle, and it is getting a bit pricey buying all this fruit from the local IGA. Anyone know of good wholesale companies in the Vancouver area? It seems like a lot of them sell to stores, but I am looking for somewhere that I can pop in a pick up a box of banana's and whatever. Organic would be great too!

Any ideas??

Cheers!

Hey guys!

I've been on the fruity path for a while now but haven't connected with many people in my area. I would love to have some fruity friends to hang with and have fruitlucks and the like!

I've noticed that there is quite a few people in this group from Ottawa, ON so I figured this would be a great place to start!

CHEAP BANARNARS!!!

2011-10-23T05:21:29.000Z

***CHEAP BANANAS***

For those living in the province of Ontario. Fortinos is selling bananas for .39 a lb. Yes... 39 CENTS a POUND! I'm going to buy 2 boxes for $30.00. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are not organic... but if you're poor, like me, then any banana that you can get to stay raw is better than none!

Calgary Wholesalers

2011-07-26T07:13:35.000Z

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if there was anyone from the Calgary area that knows of any good wholesalers in the city or area that sell to the public? I thought there was a discussion on this awhile ago but I can't seem to find it, any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

Bulk Bananas

2011-07-11T15:56:01.000Z

Sorry I know there have been a bunch of forum posts about how much Americans pay for bulk banana orders, but how much are you guys paying for up here in the Great North? I just put in my first order for a case (40lb) of organic fair trade bananas and got them for $38 which I thought was pretty decent... but then again, I have no idea. What kind of price should I actually be looking for? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to this or not, but I'd really like to. I've just started running more regularly in my vibrams, and not getting injured is my priority... but this looks like fun!

Anyone?

There's bananas after the race :)

What kind of bananas are good in the winter here? (ontario)

2010-11-12T19:04:59.000Z

I cant seem to find any decent bananas anywhere. I recently stocked up on what I could find just by hitting up a few grocery stores.. I bought some dole, some del monte, and some organic... I ripened them in paper bags, and they should be perfect today, but they all taste so bland :( I never had this issue over the summer!

Someone had suggested to me to order some 'fair trade' ones from zehrs, so I might do that.

Just wondering what everyone else does? I'm sick of these bananas! lol

Juvenille Diabetes

2010-05-06T11:12:54.000Z

Hi everyone.

I am pretty new to the raw lifestyle, just under 2 years and have been learning more and more with each visit here.

I won't pretend to know all the techie terms and definitions for nutition and health, which brings me to my question.

I understand that bad food choices have/do lead adults to increasing their chances with getting type 2 diabetes on the cooked food lifestyle, but how do young kids under the age of 6 contract/get diagnosed with Diabetes ( the insulin needing rougher kind )?

Can about to be parents do/change anything to help their unborn children?

I photograph 2 clients, both kids under 7 and both have juvenille diabetes - watching them go through what they need to do is gut wrenching.

A new raw restaurant in downtown Toronto?

2010-01-23T16:22:58.000Z

I saw in the lower level of the St. Lawrence Market (south building) that there's some signage for a place called CrudaCafe - http://www.crudacafe.com/.

From snooping around the interwebs, it sounds like it will be a raw vegan joint:

From Veg.ca: (St Lawrence Market, 92 Front St E, www.crudacafe.com) will be open the last week in January. They are a food court styleestablishment. Find them in the lower level, of the South market, by the elevators. Their description: "Cruda Cafe (meaning RAW in Spanish) is the most vibrant, vegan cafe in the heart of downtown Toronto, located inside the beautiful St. Lawrence Market landmark. We serve vegan organic living foods available for eat in, take out and catering.

Anyone hear anything else about it?

The sign outside the shop also said they`re hiring if that appeals to anyone.

New Raw Restaurant in Mississauga

2009-08-27T22:31:38.000Z

For those of us in the GTA area (Toronto), a new raw restaurant has just opened up in Mississauga (Port Credit) on Lakeshore Rd. just east of the Credit River. It is called RawAura. Many higher fat items that most of us try to avoid, but for an occasional indulgence it's better than SAD options. I stopped in today with my daughter and had the Creamsicle smoothie which was good.Support them if you are in the Mississauga area.http://raw-aura.com/home.html

FOOD IRRADIATION Law in Canada

2009-06-08T05:38:50.000Z

Just some info..What foods are currently permitted to be irradiated and sold in Canada? Currently, onions, potatoes, wheat, flour, whole wheat flour, and whole or ground spices and dehydrated seasonings are approved for irradiation and sale in Canada.Health Canada is proposing regulatory changes which would expand the list of irradiated food permitted to be sold in Canada. The proposed additions are: fresh and frozen ground beef, fresh and frozen poultry, prepackaged fresh, frozen, prepared and dried shrimp and prawns, and mangoes. Permitting irradiation on these foods will assist the food industry in enhancing the safety and quality of these products, while providing consumers with a product with a longer durable life.i wonder though if irradiated food still enters Canada, even with this law..i think i would be naive to assume it doesn't..:\What do you guys think?You can read additional info here
