Heading into a Metro in Northern Ontario, residents will have another option to shop local.

Boreal Berry Farm in Warren announced their frozen fruit was selected to be sold in 18 Metro Grocery Stores across the North as part of Metro Ontario’s Local Purchase Program.

It’s on the shelves now and Co-Owner Greg Melien had to go check it out for himself.

Melien says the partnership opens the doors for local farmers in Ontario and Nationally and for his farm in Warren to increase their employment.

The are four unique varieties of frozen berries, Haskap, Saskatoon, Aronia and Sea Buckthorn.

They can be found locally at the Metro on Lasalle Boulevard, Errington Avenue in Chelmsford, Highway 69 in Val Caron and on Front Street in Sturgeon Falls.

Boreal Berry Farm and Winery is owned by Greg and Mira Melien.
