Contact
Email is the only channel right now. Email [email protected] — we read everything and respond to most things within a few business days.
What to email about
- Corrections. A processing time that doesn’t match your edition of Bernardin, an outdated link, a typo in the FR copy, an error in an altitude entry — we want to know. Include the page URL and what you think should change.
- Source-verification requests. If you want the Bernardin edition number / page reference behind a number on the site, ask. We keep notes.
- Partnership enquiries. Sponsored content is not something we accept; honest paid relationships (an equipment maker sending a unit for testing, a recipe contribution from a tested-recipe author) we’ll consider on the merits.
- Press / interviews. Yes, but say so up front and tell us the deadline.
- Privacy / Law 25 requests. See the Privacy Policy for what we can do and how fast.
What we can’t do
- Personal recipe coaching — diagnose what went wrong with a specific batch, walk you through a recipe over email. We point you to a tested source instead.
- Medical advice — call your doctor or your provincial public health authority.
- Equipment troubleshooting — call the manufacturer (Bernardin, Presto, All American — each has a customer support line).
Response time
Most emails get a reply within 2–5 business days. During tomato month (September) it can stretch to a week. If you don’t hear back in two weeks, assume the message went to spam and try again.

If your question is about growing the food rather than preserving it, try GrowersGuide.ca — they have their own contact channel and a much better handle on planting and harvest timing.
