This one isn’t just another supermarket. Not only is the home for every bio product you wouldn’t taste anywhere else, it’s also one of the most truly sharing and collaborative concepts in Brussels! Hosted in a cute revamped space of 380 sq.m. (see for yourself), for us it’s the secret diamond of Sainte Catherine! (There’s also another one in Etterbeck we haven’t yet visited that one, maybe next time.)
beauuuutiful design
How does it work?
You simply attend a meeting on Farm or just complete their form making a statement declaring which of your talents you are willing to offer back to the “Farm society”. Then, you’ll be attending tasting or other workshops so as to check for yourself which products will join the Farm market! Yeap, you heard right: it’s the community itself that test-approves the products sold under the Farm label! So, in short, their general assembly makes the dreams of micro-entrepreneurs and little brands come true. Not interested in joining? Just go ask what the rest of the team thinks is the best nutrition for you or get some bio recipes, they’re good!
The more you engage yourself in their actions, that include organizing urban dinners (oh yes!), giving feedback about the stores’ function, the more privileges you get: discounts, attending special events etc etc. The most important though, is that you’ll be part of an experiment that places the “human” in the center of the market. YOU taste, YOU choose, YOU collaborate and ultimately…well, you’ll meet great people and have fun!
…we sneaked in their meeting cellar and secretly peeked at their notes..shhh…!
adorable
If not for the rest, then just join to form closer ties to your neighborhood and help creating a network of savvy citizens, taking action and their nutrition(!) in their own hands. In a world rapidly changing, where consumers are becoming more and more involved in food and nutrition decision-making, Farm could be considered as the poster child of such a collaborative momentum in Brussels.
Join Brusseliers, join!
PS: Just a little guy we loved. Wearing some hip eyeglasses buying totally cool bio meals. Breaks your heart.
