Lufa Farms

Lufa Farms

The world's first commercial rooftop farm

Every day, this urban farm delivers thousands of grocery baskets filled with vegetables grown in a rooftop greenhouse. Lufa Farms has created an innovative and sustainable model of local and inclusive urban agriculture. In addition to growing food on rooftops, they've partnered with local farms and groceries, and created a large network of pick-up points to deliver food to consumers as directly as possible.

Lufa built the world's first commercial rooftop greenhouse in 2011. Three more have since been built (in 2013, 2017 and 2020 respectively) following five responsible farming principles: no new land use, water recirculation, energy saving, waste reduction and the use of biocontrols instead of synthetic pesticides.
Every week, 20,000 personalized baskets filled with fresh, local and responsible food are delivered across Quebec.
