Here are some helpful resources for schools and organizations looking for local/regional organic food providers. Some of the websites listed below link to existing directories and some go directly to the farms or cooperatives.

In the context of the COVID-19 crisis :
In response to the coronavirus crisis, 19 local businesses and organizations have joined forces to launch #OnSeSerreLesCoudes, a major collaborative movement aimed at encouraging Quebecers to buy local.
In the same spirit of solidarity, the Government of Quebec has introduced “Le Panier Bleu” initiative to bolster Quebec businesses and encourage local purchasing. By guiding consumers to Quebec retailers, this comprehensive directory helps boost the sales of local businesses.
Finally, here is a list of initiatives to help you buy local throughout Quebec!
