The Last Good Weeks Zine

The Last Good Weeks is a book of the harvest. Through interviews and photography, this special edition from The Main documents the people who feed Montreal through slices of their lives: the island's own agricultural history and the fruit it forgot; farmers planting in and plucking from fields in the Townships, Parc-Ex alleys, and Chinatown backyards; a chef whose menus pivot at a moment's notice; cider and winemakers capturing Quebec's cold climate terroir in bottles; and an Italian family that's spent fifty years teaching Montrealers to can tomatoes. It is not only a chronicle, but also a guide, as it provides readers a reason to keep a copy handy in their kitchen with its month-by-month manual to eating seasonally in Quebec.
