Where are they available? Co-op, Sobey's/Safeway, Stoopidstore?
Do they produce enough to supply a whole year, they would store under the right conditions, like potatoes?

I always wondered how California carrots can be so woody and tasteless. Do Outlook carrots taste more like garden carrots? About 30 years ago I attended a convention in Saskatoon partially supported by Department of Regional Economic Expansion. Different farm value-added ventures were highlighted. One of the speakers was Elysse ---- I forgot her last name. Her story was how an over abundance of potatoes turned into perogies and then quickly grew into Saskatchewan Fresh Pack. Its been a long time but this story has been fixed in my mind and every time I see the bag with the prairie lily logo, I think of her remarkable story.

I tried to get some outlook carrots at tisdale co-op , manager said Monday that they're done for the year. we had been buying them up till the middle of January . they are better than garden carrots and quite reasonable . I think most of the co-ops carry them when available . make sure to try the Arabella (I think) tomatoes from the tomato man in alberta also . they taste like garden tomatoes and juicy , not like the California wood ones. hats off to co-ops for buying local !

It is an interesting question to ask at a good restaurant almost anywhere in Canada: where do you source your beef is particularly interesting.
