Community members buying in to new #FarmingtonME #FoodCoOp
by Jamie Azulay, April 14, 2026
"The Farmington Food Co-op is now open on Front Street. For $150, community members can purchase a lifetime membership and become a co-owner of the local market.
"That membership comes with monthly discounts and a say in how the business is run.
[...]
The co-op's board of directors is also focused on sourcing local products. Paige Hemond, bulk packager and manager, said, 'You put back into your local economy. You help the local farmers, and you help your neighbors, the people who work here, and all the producers.'
"The co-op is open to the public, but employees say the members will benefit the most. Skistimas explained, 'We track spending, so however much you spend, you get a percentage back at the end of the year.'
"That percentage will be determined by the members themselves when they look at the yearly revenue and vote on how that money should be spent. They already have around 250 members after opening on April 8.
"Cox said, 'I'm thrilled that the co-op’s coming in to do it. I've been members of co-ops in other places, and it works well.' The Neighboring Food Co-op Association reports that in the 2025 fiscal year, Maine's nine other food co-ops made $50.7 million in revenue.
" 'It's really about just keeping access alive and creating a strong, healthy community,' Skistimas said.
"If you are interested in getting involved, but you are not ready to buy in, the food co-op is hiring for customer service help. It is open seven days a week."

Today it was my first volunteering shift since I became a member of Rotterdam Food Cooperative BioBulkBende.
Wow, it feels so good to buy local and organic food that is even cheaper than in the supermarket! Also: our whole system is powered by Free Software hosted in @decentral1se’s home 😍
All of this is done collectively by cute and loving people 💕
Cooperatives will save the world!

In Köln gibt es jetzt einen Mitmachsupermarkt. Nachhaltige ökologische regionale Produkte, im Schnitt 15% unter den Preisen im Bioeinzelhandel, genossenschaftlich organisiert. 👍 😍
Köln, Südstadt, Bonner Straße 66 (Nähe Chlodwigplatz)
https://www.koellektiv.org/„Im Kapitalismus profitieren vor allem diejenigen, denen die Unternehmen gehören. Im ‚Köllektiv‘ profitieren alle – ohne Profit.“
"Wir sind überzeugt von einem System, in dem Gemeinschaft, Mitbestimmung und Nachhaltigkeit eine größere Rolle spielen und sich alle Menschen ökologisch und fair produzierte Produkte leisten können. Wir wollen Gemeinschaft statt Profit. Wir wollen Mitspracherecht statt Marketing-Tricks. Wir wollen gemeinschaftlich anders einkaufen. Deshalb haben wir einen genossenschaftlichen Supermarkt in Köln gegründet und schreiben die Geschichte des selbstbestimmten Einkaufens fort."

Es comenta que els diferents supermercats cooperatius de l'estat que han sorgit en els darrers anys
#SomAlimentació (#València)
#FoodCoop (#Barcelona)
#LaOsa (#Madrid)estan en una situació semblant: hi ha augment de vendes i de socis però encara no prou per equilibrar els resultats.
Les més antigues com #Landare (Navarra) estan plenament sanejades i poden afrontar projectes nous.

taz.die tageszeitung vom 18.05.2024 über meine #Supercoop, wo ich heute meine obligatorischen drei Monatsstunden abgeleistet habe. Ganz ok, der Artikel, aber eben, ... naja, taz eben:
"Ein gutes Einhorn springt nur so hoch, wie es muss.
Unsere Autorin ist Mitglied eines genossenschaftlichen Supermarkts, lässt beim Engagement aber anderen den Vortritt. Ein Plädoyer fürs Trittbrettfahren." -

Calling all #foodcoop enthusiasts: Please help me add #foodcoops from around the world to this collaborative map, so people can see whether there are any in their vicinity: https://facilmap.org/t7EJKFF10A7Eup
A food #coop in the context of this map is a #workerowned or #memberowned grocery store, either physical or digital. Please don't add #cooperatives that are associations of producers or wholesalers, since this is not what the map is for.
Thank you all very much in advance!

We had a really interesting conversation with Tom Boothe, director of the film Food Coop. A couple of the things that stood out for me: Erin Dale Mclellan's comments on "somatic democracy"; Tom Boothe's summary of Charles Gide's four stages in the growth of a cooperative movement; and Elizabeth Jesdale's lament that in her food co-op they are still making rich people richer (the capitalist producers of so much of the food sold even in food co-ops).

This is very helpful!! Just what I was looking for. So far it seems all the examples are European. I wonder if there are any in the US?
