Look at wholesalers in the midwest. Gooseberries are (IIRC) prohibited in
the
northeast and on the west coast and in most states where there is a
substantial
timber ot pulpwood industry - because of the white pine blight.
I know they are available - I see them canned from time to time in the
stupormarkups
and the restaurants around here have gooseberry pie on the menu once in a
while
ENJOY!!!
