here there everywhere

It's fun and interesting to see how produce ends up on our tables. Last summer, we visited some table grape farms in Central Valley, CA. One of the largest producers in the region is Sun World and we got a chance to see the labour intensive process it takes to get grapes from vineyard to distribution. And now this summer at a supermarket in Toronto, we see the product at the next stage, ready for the consumer on the retail shelf. These grapes have trucked quite the distance to get here.
Beautiful Hass avocados while we were visiting St. Louis, MO. They are just a lovelier shade of green when they don't have fly to HK.
Back in HK, it's back to business with 3 different food shows occurring during the same week.

It's also Alaskan King Salmon season and we are fortunate to nab one. It was over 14 lbs and just barely fit on our counter.
Arrived by air and super fresh.

Wild salmon really does taste so much better than the farmed variety.
Next week we're expecting a shipment of these baby rainbow carrots from CA. The colours are amazing.
