Letter Re: Canadian Source for Long Term Storage Food?

Hi Jim,
I just recently found your blog and love it! I was hoping you might be able to help me out. I’ve been trying to find Canadian sources for bulk food/storage supplies and had no luck. Do you happen to know of any? Thanks! – Kim
JWR Replies: I don’t know of any major storage food packagers in Canada. Most are just distributors for U.S. packaged storage foods, and they tack on a substantial mark-up. They offer no real value added except for being on the far side of those pesky Customs Canada minions. To minimize shipping costs, you are probably best off ordering directly from a border state, like Idaho. Two firms that I recommend there are Walton Seed and Survival Enterprises. (The latter is one of our advertisers.)
