The carrots are grown for Oxford Frozen
Foods.		http://www.oxfordfrozenfoods.com/Carrots/carrots.htm

They are processed at Hillaton just southeast of Canning and are part
of the largest Canadian frozen carrot processor's crop. They are
impressive when you see one to two pound carrots, these are used to
dice for frozen carrots.
