I was told by a worker at the U of Saskatchewan that a lady was selling 
commercially heating bags that you pit in the freezer or microwave using 
cherry pits instead of wheat, or rice.  He said that she gets a semi truck 
from B.C. every year to Saskatoon.  I guess it is possible.

Unfortunately, I don't have any contact with this person.
