Market Dollars Program

Introducing the CFM Market Dollars Program, launching at the Concordia Farmers’ Market’s two locations: SGW and Loyola. This exciting initiative is the result of a collaborative effort between the CFM, the CFC, and local food groups to enhance the market experience for students and the community alike.

Here’s a breakdown of how the program operates:

Market Dollars Distribution: CFM, in partnership with local food organizations, will distribute Market Dollars to students. These Market Dollars will serve as an alternative form of currency, allowing students to make purchases at our market stalls during the fall season. Stay tuned during the month of September to find out where you can have a chance to pick up market dollars on campus!

Supporting Local Vendors and Increasing Food Security: By using Market Dollars, students directly contribute to the success of our local vendors and farmers. This program aims to boost food security in our community by making market dollars available for students to redeem.

Seasonal Availability: The CFM Market Dollars Program is season-specific, aligning with the market’s operating schedule. Make sure to redeem your dollars before our last market day, November 1st!

Visit us at the markets this fall:

Tuesday at Loyola Campus 3-6pm & Wednesday at SGW Campus 3-6pm.

Our Social, environment and economic sustainability priorities:

Low-Zero Waste products

Low or Zero waste should be created at the production or at the consumption level. Vendors are encouraged to use paper bags, compostable bags or to sell reusable bags at their stands. Ideally all waste made at the market itself should be recyclable, reusable or compostable. 

Non-transformed Food

While we do not require a certification for organic goods and produce,  only vendors that do not use toxic chemicals in the growing process will be accepted. In order to be considered local, the produce sold at the market should be grown at no more than 200km of the borders of the island of Montreal. 

Transformed food

In order to be considered local, the food should be prepared in no more than 200km of the borders of the island of Montreal and use at least 50% of elements produced within the regulations of  the “non-transformed food” section above. 

Non-food items 

In order to be considered local, a reasonable effort to source at least 50% of the material within Quebec’s borders should be made and the items should be transformed within a 200km radius outside the borders of the island of Montreal.

The Market is powered by our vendors, partners and supporters
