Super Cafoutch is the cooperative supermarket from Mars. Cafoutch is a small storage room where you can put everything and anything. From the Marseilles expression, the association develops a consumer cooperative. To consume yes, but differently: quality products, local and accessible for all. The model is inspired by the Park Slope Food Coop created in 1973 in New York. To consume, you have to be a member; the cooperators each hold one or more shares in the supermarket and decide together. It is also a participatory supermarket: each cooperator devotes three hours per month to various tasks such as cashiering, stocking shelves, ordering, etc. The project is also social: finding everything at Super Cafoutch and cheaper than elsewhere, consuming locally and responsibly (99% organic and local products). The baskets are prepared under our eyes, we exchange, we discuss, we share. Meetings are organized once a month: find the dates in the agenda on the website. The cooperative hopes to find a place very soon in the city center. A great idea!
