Jennifer, I don't know if I'm going down the right path here, but the first thing I thought of were books either written during that era, or books that may have historical references to that era.
The three that immediately came to my mind, which I own, are:
1) Roughing it in the Bush (or, Forest Life in Canada)
by Susanna Moodie
- she didn't come to Canada until 1830, but I imagine the food crops would be similar. I'm not sure what specific references might be in the book - I'd have to thumb through it.
2) The Molsons Their Lives & Times 1780-2000
by Karen Molson
- the history of the Molson Brewery family from England to Canada - tons of accurate historical records - again I would have to look up any food/crop references, if any
3) Canada - A Portrait in Letters 1800-2000
by Charlotte Gray
- actual letters from immigrants, etc. to their families - again, not sure if there are any crop references.
