| - Great local organization which serves the community fresh and sustainable food for the less fortunate. An event was created there yesterday as a fund to help the organization called Les fruits défendus Montréal, it is an organization where volunteers pick local fruits and vegetables from people's backyard and community garden to avoid it from going to waste. The food are then, split into three parts, the first third is separated by the volunteers to take home, the 1/3 part is given to the owner and the last 1/3 is given to the organization to make fresh and nutritious food. I have the chance to drop by this little place with a communal kitchen for a lesson on Kombucha drink. The lady teaching us was knowledgeable and funny to boot. At the end of the event, we have a chance to take home a pot of kombucha's mother mushroom, the liquid to contain the mother, a tissue sheet and an elastic band to close the pot properly. Donations are asked between 10 and 25$. Most of the attendees gave 20$ and up!
Overall, the place is pretty neat to hang out in. They sell homemade frozen meal for 6 dollars, they have awesome canned food and... Although, it is not the season to garden, they sell seeds for plants and vegetables.
