Jean-Talon market Montreal

A world of freshness

Jeremy from Montreal

About me Some will tell you that I’m a designer, others a DJ. Some will tell you that I garden too much while others will point out that I should stop posting photos of my food all the time.

""Jean-Talon market" in Montreal is a delight for those who cherish a healthy nutrition. Whenever I come here, I get a full sensorial experience..."

Gardening is one of my many passions but also a necessary activity in order to get real food on my table, which is a rarity with all those GMOs around. This magnificent market is the extension of my garden and shopping for fresh veggies and fruits is a delight for those who cherish a healthy nutrition. Of course they sell products from all over the planet but also a lot of local goodies, from wild asparagus to organic corn.

The market is covered so rain or shine it's on. It's also surrounded by some of the best shops that sell meat, fish, cheese, patisseries and more. There is also a great variety of land plants and flowers which is perfect for your garden; it's the perfect place for my botanical needs. But wandering through the colorful alleys of the Jean-Talon market is also a sensorial experience and a way to make a trip around the world of goodness.

About me Some will tell you that I’m a designer, others a DJ. Some will tell you that I garden too much while others will point out that I should stop posting photos of my food all the time. I also heard that I’m a wine enthusiast and a good cook, that’s nice. Some still think that I have a band, which would be nice actually. But these days, I spend hours in my studio, making music for the dance-floor. I guess that’s why they invented the moto jack of all trades, master of none. Totally me. Why Montreal? After travelling quite extensively around the world...
