COOP 14

This general food co-op aims to make healthy, sustainable, quality consumption accessible to everyone. Managed by its members, it ensures fair payment to producers. You need to become a member and contribute 3 hours per month to the store’s operations to shop there. What a great way to meet new people—and you become a co-owner of the store!

Why we love them: 100% of fruits and vegetables sold in the store are seasonal. The cooperative works mostly with producers located within 250 km. They have a redistribution policy for unsold items for members. Also, members stay vigilant about buying products nearing their end date so they don’t go to waste.

Their recommendation: Local craft beers.
