Food Co-ops on ITV southwest
We now have 7 food Co-ops in Plymouth and plan on starting another 5 in 2025.
These are run and owned by us the members.
They make a difference in so many ways, saving money, access to affordable healthy, nutritious food and building a community.
We're making the move to Bluesky! We'll keep this account open a little longer, but, like a lot of people, we no longer want to be part of what this platform has become.
Join us on Bsky for co-op news and info on how you can start your own food co-op!

Welcome to our newest Co-op
The Elm started yesterday
It was a busy morning with all the members learning the roles and getting to know each other.
It’s at The Elm well-being hub every Monday from 11am.
For us by us
@CooperationTown gives neighbours the tools to buy affordable food and build collective power.
“We have lots of people who say ‘But I’m just a mum’ which is crazy to me because nobody’s ‘just a mum’, [...] without mums there’s no community" -Shiri Shalmy

Cooperation Town members just brought a pack of @takebackwater leaflets to share with co-ops in our movement.
We are proud to support this campaign. Water is a common resource, not a commodity for the rich to profit from.
The party at @CooperationTown Hub is in full swing. A brilliant example of working class solidarity - despite & against all those who try to divide us!
If you are heading over to Gospel Oak, look up for this banner (by our friends @migrantsorg ). We’re inside the yellow doors!
Cooperation Town started as an antifascist action.

Join a community food co-op. Join antifascist direct action. Don’t despair, organise.
