Hey Lufavores!

The Lufavore Tour was truly a weekend of sun and fun! It was a tour for Lufavores, by Lufavores. If you didn't get a chance to visit us this time scroll through the pictures of your fellow Lufavores discovering our offices, our distribution center, the super awesome picnic set-up and of course, the greenhouse!

Big groups, hot weather

The weekend was super hot with temperatures rising over 30 C outside and even higher in the greenhouse. To stay cool, the tour of roughly 45 minutes started with a brief presentation on our brand new and improved Marketplace and our famous greenhouses. 

Soapy water ahead

Step two of the tour was the greenhouse visit, this time for pictures, sightseeing and questions as the how it works was covered by our team in the well air-conditioned greenhouse office.

Down the stairs and to your left

To bring down the temperature after being in the heat of the rooftop greenhouse, to the distribution center we go! The home of your Lufa Farms baskets.

Picnic ahead!

And finally, we were very happy to welcome our awesome suppliers set up on the grass outside. With a crazy heat wave Montreal survived this weekend, ice cold pops-art natural popsicles were super refreshing; Sophie Sucrée brought amazing scones (spinach scone - my favourite,) and cupcakes; Dose, our super new cold pressed juice partner came by to offer a cold juice tasting in the sun; Blanc de Gris brought along very flavourful gourmet Montreal grown mushrooms and offered cooking advices and mushrooms, of course; and last but not least, our beautiful booth filled with tomatoes of all shapes and colors (including our giant heirloom tomatoes.)

It was a great day

It was, indeed, a great weekend filled with anecdotes, new friends, new flavors and a lot of sunny fun! Don’t miss your next chance to see the very first commercial greenhouse built on the roof in 2011, right here in Montreal! Follow us on Facebook and our events page at montreal.lufa.com/visit.

Happy eating Lufavores!
