This is really cool. Besides the US being malignant, fresh berries in the winter are typically air freight (they don't last long enough for a truck ride from California) and that significantly increases the carbon footprint of the product. Growing them in a local greenhouse addresses both problems!

I'm shocked at how much greenhouse stuff there is, actually. I was preparing to subsist on canned stuff whenever the US cut us off.

I've found that there are multiple greenhouse lettuce growers in Alberta, of all places.

Well, I’m in BC so that footprint is larger for me than if they came from California. But I’m still happy with the change.
