    We have an unheated greenhouse in a moderate Canadian climate. We get to about minus ten on the regular in winter sometimes colder. We grow all our own family greens all winter long. It’s not possible to scale this up due to sunlight without additional lighting but it’s certainly possible with some investment in infrastructure.

    Us imported greens are also no longer tested as the US has fired all personnel associated to food testing. Much of our fresh food is on a reciprocal agreement that matches testing so all goods are tested prior to entry to Canada and not tested again prior to distribution. Welcome to the summer of ecoli and lysteria.
