La Tablée des Chefs feeds families in need and educates future generations by helping them develop food self-sufficiency.
Première Moisson has proudly partnered with La Tablée des Chefs since 2012. The company daily donates unsold products to community organizations in the immediate vicinity of individual bakeries and provides funding for culinary training programs aimed at underprivileged youth.
Première Moisson donates 2% of the proceeds from the sale of the company's organic whole wheat sourdough loaf to fund the culinary workshops.
Environment
Reducing our environmental impact, in 2011, a life cycle analysis was carried out to measure Première Moisson's environmental footprint. This analysis enabled us to pinpoint issues of concern and opportunities for improving our products, plants and network of retail bakeries. Since 2011, we have:
- Implemented recycling operations in our bakeries
- Optimized our company’s packaging
- Enhanced our infrastructures (toilets and lighting)
- Retrofitted our Mount Royal Avenue bakery

The four components of this thrust are as follows:
