Jean talon market greehouse

[Luca94]

I hear that jean talon market has a greenhouse with organic produce of different fruits and vegetables has anyone been already if so is it good.

I don't think JT has a greenhouse, it is probably Lufa as ios94 says. If you want a wonderful place for local fruits and veg it's Birri Brothers. They sell out of their elevator in the winter :).

Happy eating, Oana

Luca94 is right... the greenhouse is supposed to open on april 22...

Well not really, that's not a greenhouse... and even if they grow something on the roof, the space is still limited... I doubt they will have enough vegetables to provide everyone at the market for more than like one day!

I like the project though

Interesting, have not heard about this. Is this project still happening because that article with the April 22nd target date is from last April and I can't say I've noticed anything going on. Then again it's not like I'm looking up at the roof when I'm there.

The "Toit Vert" project was put on hold, last summer.

I haven't found any other news on the subject published after that date.

I'm pretty sure this is not was the OP is talking about. I wish they would come back and help us out.

"might" open on the 22 if all goes according to plans.

Funny, the image they show make it look like a circuit board.

Oana, can you provide more info on Birri... one of the few reasons I go to JTM in the summer is them. What do you mean they sell of their elevator in the winter? thanks!

You are probably thinking of Lufa (the rooftop greenhouse), https://lufa.com/en located in Ahuntsic.
No greenhouse at JTM, at least not that I'm aware of.
