At Lufa Farms, we’re on a mission to create a better food system, and a huge part of this is achieved by growing food where people live, and growing it responsibly. To do this, we built the world’s first commercial rooftop greenhouse and partnered with hundreds of local farms and food makers to assemble and deliver thousands of customized baskets filled with fresh, local, responsible food to our customers across Quebec and the Ottawa area every week.

• Strategic and logistical thinker;

• Good negotiator;

• Comfortable pushing back;

• Problem solver;

• Great work ethic.
