Readying flats of strawberries for weighing at a farm in the Fraser Valley.

"When people go to the store and buy strawberries they don't think about where those strawberries came from or about the people who provided them. For a few years in the early '80s we changed that attitude to a certain extent, but now it's back to Square One. My older daughter knows where the food comes from. She was practically born on the picket line and she was with me all the time. But my younger daughter just thinks that food comes from the supermarket." - Former CFU President Raj Chouhan, 1995
