The price of local fruit and vegetables!!!

I was shocked when Okanagan Cherries were $6.99 a lb. last month.  I know the farmers have had a tough time.  We had lots of cherries.

I live in corn growing country.  The Bose farm is about 1 KM away from my house.  It's one of area's largest and every year they have a corn maze that's shown on the news.  They are selling corn and blueberries but it's off 64th and it's a busy street so I haven't stopped there. 

My favorite local vegetable market, Mary's, is right in farmland and I go there all the time.  I see everything is more expensive but that's to be expected.  I saw the above ad on their Facebook page.  They grow all their own produce.  $1.49 for one small cob of corn!  No middleman, no trucker involved, it's on their farm!  I was so shocked, I left.  

My neighbour was in Kelowna and I asked if he could pick me up six corn if he was stopping.  In Kelowna, corn on the cob was $2.00 a cob, $20.00 a dozen!  I don't know where it was from and I'm glad he didn't buy any!  

Superstore is selling it for $0.49 a cob an my next door neighbour said it was delicious.  

Blueberries by the flat from the farmers were $25 last year and $30 this year.  Not a huge increase and they are really good this year. 

I wonder what imported fruit and vegetables will be in the winter?
