Lufa Farms founder/CEO Mohamed Hage envisions that, in five to 10 years, Montreal’s desolate rooftop landscape of asphalt will dazzle and revitalize us with leafy canopies of green-speckled sunlight, and succulent crops of homegrown tomatoes, cucumbers and arugula.

Lufa Farms, founded in 2011 in Montreal, is North America’s first commercial, economically and ecologically sustainable, four-season, pesticide-free, rooftop greenhouse. Lufa Farms has developed a model for urban farming and distribution of personalized baskets of vegetables from their greenhouses through their online ordering service. Customers can order an array of fresh veggies along with other products such as honey, dairy products, wild mushrooms, specialty flours, fleur de sel, olive oil and much more from their visually indexed Online Marketplace. Features are updated weekly as Lufa continues to forge partnerships with other complimentary local farmers and a variety of food artisans.
