    Unfortunately gooseberries are regarded as a niche or minor crop and generally supermarkets are only interested in high volume crops especially cheap imports even when are own are in season.Few of my farmer customers grow them since they have problems finding a market for them and is almost entirely restricted to farm gate sales.
    The only place where you may get them are farm shops and traditional greengrocers and these are few and far between,thanks again to the supermarkets.

    Maybe it's a government secret plan to control the population explosion, because that's where babies come from, isn't it?-under the gooseberry bushes.
    Less gooseberry bushes= less babies

    At least I think that's how it works :lol:
