May 12, 2023 – Lufa Farms is integrating greenhouse technologies into an indoor farm to maximize local production year-round.

In the borough of Saint-Laurent, the former Sears headquarters is now home to a complete urban food ecosystem, including the world’s largest rooftop greenhouse, a new distribution centre, and now a new indoor farm that feeds thousands of customers every week.

Featuring Green Automation technology typically used in greenhouses, this farm is equipped with a single-story hydroponic growing system and 1,000 LED lights. Inside the facility, the following crops are grown; lettuce, spinach, celery, basil, kohlrabi, fennel, and watercress are grown without fossil fuels.
