Fresh food aisles and speciality counters
This is a far cry from a simple organic dry goods shop. The shop advertises a bakery, a butcher's shop, a delicatessen, a cheese dairy, a fishmonger's and an offer of snacking for lunch. A comprehensive range, where fresh produce plays a key role, allowing you to do your weekly shopping without having to visit a supermarket.
Local, fair trade and not transported by air
The team showcases products organic, local and fair trade, in a environmentally responsible approach open acceptance of and overt support for short supply chains. The network translates this into specific commitments that shape its procurement: GMO-free guarantee, no air transport, priority to local and at the’Made in France, and shutter fair. The cooperative also showcases its producers, a product catalogue and recipes on its website, to complement what is available on the shelves.
