A Brief Introduction
At Lufa Farms, we’re on a mission to change the way people eat by growing food where people live and growing it more sustainably. To accomplish this, we built the world’s first commercial rooftop greenhouse in 2011 and three more greenhouses since then (built in 2013, 2017, and 2020). With each new greenhouse, we hold ourselves to an ever higher standard of sustainability and technical ingenuity growing dozens of vegetables, greens, and herbs hydroponically. All of our greenhouses run following our five principles of responsible agriculture: using no new land, recirculating water, conserving energy, reducing waste, and using biocontrols instead of synthetic pesticides. We also partner with local farmers and food makers to provide our customers with hundreds of products through our online Marketplace. Every week, we assemble 20,000 customized baskets filled with fresh, local, responsible food and deliver them to our network of pick-up points across Quebec and in Ottawa, or straight to customers’ doors. As we grow we aim to continue developing an economically and ecological sustainable model of food production.
