About Les Cultures Nécessaires

Les Cultures Nécessaires is a biodynamic market garden in Oka, west of Montreal. It grows heirloom and forgotten vegetable varieties, the kinds you rarely find at the supermarket, and shares them through weekly baskets.

It suits curious cooks who like discovering new shapes, colours and flavours, and families who want to eat with the seasons. A basket subscription is a nice way to follow a growing year from early greens to fall roots. Oka is also a lovely day trip from the city, with its orchards, its park and the ferry across the Lake of Two Mountains.
