Why we exist
We want to know where our food comes from.
We’re neighbours who decided to set up our own not-for-profit supermarket, so that good, local food at a fair price is within reach of more people. The shop belongs to its members: there are no shareholders, and the big decisions are voted on at the assembly.
-
For you
Good, seasonal food, mostly local and organic, with where each product comes from in plain sight. You know what you’re buying and what’s behind every price.
-
For the people who grow it
We put farmers, co-ops and small local producers first, and we don’t haggle them down. Paying a fair price to the people who make our food is what the whole project is built on.
-
For the neighbourhood
A shop where people know each other by name. What you spend here stays with neighbours and local producers instead of ending up with a big chain.
Who can shop here
A shop that’s open to everyone.
You can shop here without being a member, as often as you like. And if you like it, become one: the shop becomes yours too, with a vote at the assembly and a discount on your shopping.
-
Come in and shop
The shop is open to everyone. No card, no fee, nothing to sign up for. Come in, have a look and pay the public price.
Come and shop -
If you like it, become a member
You put in a one-off sum that stays yours, and we give it back if you leave. In return you get a discount on your shopping and a vote at the assembly for as long as you’re a member.

What does it cost to shop here?
The basket on 22 October 2026 at FoodCoop BCN: €44.25 at member prices
The same basket of everyday basics, checked every day against what it costs at 4 Barcelona supermarkets.
We’re not always the cheapest. We publish all of it, including the shops that beat us: see the full comparison and judge for yourself.
At member prices, we’re cheaper than Condis and Bonpreu / Esclat, we’re about the same as Ametller Origen, and we’re dearer than Mercadona.

Members’ favourites
Dolors
For Dolors, nothing beats the organic walnuts from Can Galderic, a family firm in Santa Eulàlia de Ronçana that roasts nuts over a wood fire.
‘If you want to know what walnuts really taste like, don’t think twice. These are proper walnuts. Absolutely delicious!’
Gerard
Gerard’s mind is made up: the fuet (a thin cured Catalan sausage) from L’Esquiador, a small family business in Ripoll that has been making charcuterie for three generations.
‘I first tried it because a friend who’s a member gave me one, and I couldn’t quite believe it was as good as she kept saying, not at that price. When I tasted it, I knew I’d never buy Casa Tarradellas again.’
Rosa
Rosa’s favourites are the chocolate bars from IDEAS Comercio Justo and Tony’s Chocolonely, two fair-trade brands working to end labour exploitation, often of children, in the cocoa trade.
‘Every time I come to the shop I have the same problem: which one do I pick? They’re amazing. A sweet dilemma!’
Mila
A good local honey: Mila, as a member, suggested it to the buying circle, who took it on without a second thought.
‘This honey comes from the Aragonese Pyrenees, from Sieso to be exact, a village that was abandoned and has come back to life thanks to a group of people who have spent many years working the land and living as a community.’
Jaume
Jaume loves the fennel from Hortec, tasty whichever way you cook it.
‘At home we have it roasted, boiled, puréed, fried in batter… on its own, with other vegetables or with meat or fish. It always adds a freshness and that very Mediterranean flavour. It also reminds us of country walks, with the verges full of fennel.’
About us
1,001 members and not one shareholder
We’re a not-for-profit consumer co-op. The shop belongs to its members: each one has a vote, and each one takes part with a shift, a working circle or a fee.
There are no investors and no private profits. What we save goes back into the prices, and we vote on the big decisions at the assembly.
