The Mac Market, where the seedling plants were cultivated, is located on the McGill/Macdonald campus adjacent to John Abbott College. Over time it has evolved from a primarily horticultural research facility to a local agricultural source for fresh fruit & vegetables. It provides Macdonald & John Abbott residences and the McGill downtown food services with fresh local produce during the summer growing season through a program called McGill feeding McGill. It supports student communal campus gardens, and reduced cost incentives like the "Student Friday Basket".

In return for Mac Market's generous support for initiatives like this we promote the awareness of this facility on campus and on their Facebook page, "Marché Mac Market".
