Summer has officially arrived! ☀️🍎

For the produce industry, summer means longer days, busy harvests, and an incredible variety of fresh fruits and vegetables making their way from farm to table.

Did you know? The produce supply chain involves growers, transportation providers, distributors, retailers, and many others working together to ensure Canadians have access to fresh produce throughout the season.

As summer begins, it's the perfect time to enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables while recognizing the dedicated people who help bring them to our plates.

What seasonal produce are you most excited for this summer?

Rain, wind, and less-than-ideal conditions couldn’t keep the produce community away. ⛳️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s 50th annual CalPMA Golf Tournament. Despite the challenging weather, the support, enthusiasm, and camaraderie on display were a reminder of what makes our industry so special.

From our golfers and volunteers to our sponsors and partners, thank you for showing up, connecting, and helping make the day a success. Your commitment and community spirit made all the difference.

We’re grateful to everyone who braved the elements and helped create another memorable day on the course. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

🍓 Strawberry season is one of the sweetest signs of summer.

Whether you're adding them to your morning yogurt, tossing them into a salad, blending them into a smoothie, or enjoying them fresh by the handful, strawberries are a delicious way to add more fruit to your day.

Packed with vitamin C and bursting with flavour, these bright red berries are a seasonal favourite for good reason. As local and regional strawberries begin making their appearance, now is the perfect time to enjoy them at their freshest.
