Produce
It’s no wonder our store name has always featured our signature strawberry. Luscious fresh fruits and vegetables were the only products when we opened in 1978, and are a mainstay to this day. Our buyers comb Detroit’s Eastern Market and produce terminal, as well as the Ontario Food Terminal daily, which means our enormous variety of produce from fruits and vegetables, fresh cut greens, specialty salads and other specialty produce items you just won’t find anywhere else reach your table so consistently fresh! We guarantee it! (If you would like a taste before you buy, you’re welcome to a sample!) And because we care about our neighbours and sustainability, we support Local Ontario farmers whenever possible and seasonally available, fostering good faith in our community while maintaining the highest quality in our foods.
