Organic Campus: December 2008

Welcome

Welcome to McGill's Organic Campus! We are a non-profit student organization that operates on the McGill University Campus (Montreal, Canada) and we are dedicated to bringing local organic fruits and vegetables to the community at affordable prices.

All of our produce and baked goods come from Farm True Food Ecostere located in Glen Robertson, Ontario (1 hour from Montreal).

We operate every Tuesday of the year (except holidays and the period between planting and first harvest, usually April-June). We are also operating Mondays and Wednesdays for the time being, same time (11-5). Come visit us in front of the Shatner Building (3480 McTavish St. Montreal) or, when the snow comes, inside Shatner on the second floor.
