Good Food Markets

Pop-up markets of fresh, seasonal and affordable products across our community.

What is the Good Food Market?

Created in response to a community demand for improved access to fresh food, the market has been providing an important service to members of the NDG community since 2014. We supply fresh, often local produce at affordable prices in 3 sectors of NDG that have limited services and/or grocery stores. Our markets operate in the form of a social economy project; any profits we make are reinvested into the project to allow us to continue building community, supporting local food systems and ensuring good food for all. 

Pricing System

Our pricing system allows participants to pay according to their means. Each item has two listed prices; upon arriving at the cash register, participants will be offered two totals and can choose the one that best suits their budget. 

Community Price: The same as it’s always been. Designed to support members of our community living with a lower income. (No profit margin).

Solidarity Price: Help keep the project running and make a difference  For those who want to support the Depot mission, this price contributes directly to subsidizing the Depot price and keeping the markets operational. (Standard profit margin, still lower than most grocery).

The Depot and the Markets  aim to welcome community members with dignity and without judgement. We hope that this new pricing system will help us to keep this project rolling and continue to provide an excellent service, affordable to all. We also hope that no one will feel pressured to pay outside of their means, as this project is aimed to support our members of the community living with insufficient incomes.

Producer Partners & Products

We work closely with many small scale farmers – our partnerships help support sustainable food systems, ensure that low income community members have access to fresh, local food and that farmers can rely on a stable income. 

Apart from Vegetables and Fruits, you can find honey, nuts, bread and eggs at the weekly markets. 

Some of our partners include:

Methods of Payment Accepted

We accept cash and all major debit and credit cards (except american express). 

Cartes de Proximité, a program of the Carrefour Solidaire CCA (another community organization in Montreal),  can also be used as a form of payment. 

  • A little more about it, “Carte Proximité is a food stamps project that supports local food systems. The card can be used as a method of payment to purchase food items at any of the participating markets, who commit to sourcing an increasing number of their products directly from local farms. Carte Proximité is helping to make healthy food more accessible to all, creating solidarity, promoting local farmers and strengthening short supply chains.”  To find out more: https://carteproximite.org/en/
