Montreal Is at the Forefront of an Urban Food Revolution
"A retail storefront in the Mile‑End neighborhood that sells hydroponic kits for indoor gardeners and has become popular with local chefs for year‑round production of lettuce, sprouts, and basil under LED lights. Founder Daniel Feinglos says, "We wanted to create a Best Buy for hydroponics," and adds they aimed to "put it in the heart of the city, to show people how easy it is to grow food in their own homes." The business plans to expand into a restaurant and a fish‑farming operation, with intentions to smoke whitefish following Mile‑End’s Jewish traditions." - Taras Grescoe
