Sown and raised in the 514.
514 is about taking the best of Montreal, wrapping it up, and sharing it across the country. We grow and nurture our cannabis while investing love and pride into our products. It's out craft, it's our passion, and it's locally-made.
We proudly produce quality cannabis a true 514 resident can relate to, and that any Canadian can appreciate.
It all starts with a seed.
514’s vertical, state-of-the-art aeroponic towers provide the perfect living environment for quality cannabis production. We create an incomparable growing climate known to be clean, efficient, and rapid.
By dramatically reducing the chances of spreading plant disease and infection commonly found in soil, we achieve a fresh, local, and unique nurturing process.
