„Parcel from a farmer”

Food cooperative Wrocław Food Cooperatives are about group ordering of food products in order to obtain better prices. We focus particularly on healthy, organic and ecological food, cultivated without use of fertilizers and chemical pesticides. We cooperate mainly with suppliers from Saturday ecomarket at 26, Białoskórnicza Street in Wrocław, which operates on Saturday between 10 and 13 hours. Another place worth of attention is a Sunday „Bazar Smakosza” (Goutmet Market) in Browar Mieszczański at 44, Hubska Street in Wrocław, open from 10 till 16 hours. The cooperative sometimes functions like a purchase group.
