If you are living in the city of Montreal you should have probably realized the existence of Farmers markets within the city. If you are living in the area of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce you should probably be familiar with the Fruit and Veggies Market Le Trottier, near by the University of Montreal.
This is not only a cute little place for fresh fruit and vegetables, it is also a place with great prices, always supplied with fresh products and it is available 24/7 from April to November.
The market has been open for 35 years and is the shopping place for all the students living in the area and attending to the University of Montreal, as well as for the people leaving on this this big borough of Côte-des-Neiges.
It is so fascinating to have a farmers market in an area that that is so full of activities and people in constant movement. As every typical zone close to an university location, you will find yourself surrounded of coffee shops, restaurants, bards, stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, and libraries. This is a area were you will find stores that are open mostly 24 hours / 7 days a week. It's like a little bit of bees close to a land of flowers, they are always in motion. If you combine that with the multiculturalism that characterized Côte-des-Neiges which is considered as "one of the most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods in Canada" . 
Next time you visit the area of Côte-des-Neiges, besides being amazed by the all the people from more than 100 ethnic communities from all over the world, have one sushi Shop next to Vietnamese, Indian, Lebanese restaurants you could also go around for some groceries shopping, including fruits and veggies at Le Trottier. But you better get there before November 8 this year, when they will close for for the year, otherwise you should try again next April.
I'll have a hot coffee at the Premiere Moisson a few steps from Le Trottier, this is a nice bakery... I think a dessert will be required.
Enjoy your day, see you tomorrow.
