Montreal: the capital of urban agriculture
Description
From vertical farms to mushroom production in greenhouses, including the largest group of urban producers in Quebec: this Signature Tour will introduce you to the many faces and innovations of urban agriculture in Montreal!
Your morning will begin at AquaVerti Farms where you will have the privilege of visiting the first vertical hydroponic farm in Montreal. On site, you will learn more about the history of this innovative company, their infrastructure and production methods which allow them to grow fresh vegetables all year round.
A few blocks away is the Centrale Agricole, the largest urban agriculture cooperative in Quebec… and in the world! During your visit, you will explore the hidden gems behind the walls of this industrial building by visiting the production premises of certain members, as well as the shared facilities of the Centrale. Fish farming, coffee roasting, urban cider makers and more: you will be impressed by the hidden gems of this unpretentious building.
Finally, your tour will end in the early afternoon at Les 400 Pieds de Champignon, an urban mushroom farm located in Côte-des-Neiges. At the end of your guided tour, you will understand the many steps required to produce high-quality greenhouse mushrooms, such as oyster mushroom, enoki, lion's mane, and more!
