Neighborhood food cooperatives used to be common. People would simply buy their groceries collectively from farmers and wholesalers and distribute it through the co-op to members. Government agencies could be filling the role of food cooperatives, or fostering the creation of a new generation of co-ops.

@jerkface @grte We should look into bringing those back.

There are tons of coops across western Canada. It’s basically a chain at this point. Every small town has one. But for some reason they are very rare in the east

@TheGayTramp that's true. There was one in a village near our cabin. It's the only one I've ever heard of in Québec.
