Färm: cooperative concept changing the food circuit in Brussels

Nearly eleven million Belgians, more than 20.000 farmers, but only a hand-full of supermarkets that decide which products reach the consumer and which price has to be paid. That’s the current system, a structure which clearly isn’t sustainable and needs for a change. Luckily, various initiatives are taken, including Färm, a wonderful project founded in Brussels. It’s the project of two researchers in the biology and three ethical investors with a purpose of changing food systems towards a local, seasonal and organic one.

One thing we lost and which Färm wants to restore is the connection between humans and their food. Via their stores in Brussels people can buy local, organic and seasonal products, for which the shortest circuit is always given preference. But you can take it a step further and become a cooperant of the cooperative that Färm is. That way you’re supporting and participating in the development of this important and innovative project.

In their store you can find a large variety of products: fruits, vegetables, bread, meat and meat-substitutes, beers, wine, cosmetics and more. Either local, organic, following the seasons, but always sustainable. As an extra: the store itself is beautiful, stylish and creates a wonderful shopping atmosphere.

Färm is an innovative project with a promising future, providing you and us with quality goods. Happy that when their name is spoken out in Flemish (Ferm), it means “Great”.
