Agway sells frozen gooseberries in its spring/fall truckload
sale of frozen food. People order ahead for this sale, then
have to pick up their food on a given day when the
tractor-trailer truck will be at their local store. This is
the only place I have ever seen gooseberries for sale in the
USA.
Agway is a feed/farm supply store in the northeastern USA.
Maybe they have an equivalent where you are?
The frozen gooseberries are great, I love them! We've
planted gooseberry bushes, so in due course I hope to grown
our own.
Last fall, my husband went to get our food from the
truckload sale. It's sold in 10-lb cases. We had ordered
one case of gooseberries. The truck driver told my husband
that he wanted to meet the person who ordered the
gooseberries - he had over 1200 cases of food in his truck
and only ONE case of gooseberries! I wonder if they'll
continue offering them at that rate.
Cheers,
Pat
