Looking for Canadian merchants who sell Fresh Pods

AJ Drew

Our farm is located in the hills of Kentucky.  I doubt we will ever sell fresh pods internationally.  The cost of shipping priority mail is just too high.  Patrons would wind up paying more for the shipping than the produce.  Thing is, I am asked very often if we will ship to Canada.  Instead of saying I am sorry but no, I would like to direct Canadians seeking fresh pods to someone who could supply what they desire without the extreme cost of priority international shipping.  Could be a few someones, maybe a list of someones.
 
So if you grow pods in Canada or if you know someone who does, please share with me their web site, facebook page, ebay page, or any other way folk can find them.  Oh, and if they are a contributing member of THP please do mention their user name.

Thank you for your time.
 
My operation is still quite small (grew around 200 plants this past season and aiming for 400+ this next season), but I do plan to start focusing towards shipping fresh peppers this next season. Because of the climate we have, my peppers usually aren't ready in any real amounts until at least mid-October. :)

Pepper North is obviously a growing popular name up here - especially after having won some of the pepper awards here on the forum recently:

I know there are certainly a few other members of the forum that are in Canada and ship fresh peppers, I just sadly don't recall their names or websites offhand. :)
 
Speaking of fresh pods, one patron described things in Canada as "dry".  Felt like I was in high school talking about a different crop.  Point being, I think there is a market.  Anyway, hope the following helps:

USPS has what has become almost the standard in the US for selling pods, the Small Flat Rate Box.  You can find just about the same size boxes at Uline.com.  Might be a good idea to throw ten ounces of something in one and mail it to a friend to get an idea of postage.
