CABA-BIOCOOP Discovered

This is the english version of the last post (from February 27th), for my anglophone readers:

Last Wednesday I discovered another organic food market called "CABA-BIOCOOP." The first organic food market (Rayons Verts) was located closer to me, in Beaucouzé. This other organic food market is located further away in Angers. By bus, I can get to Rayons Verts in 15 minutes, but it took me almost an hour to get to Caba-biocoop. Some prices were less expensive at Caba-biocoop than the ones at Rayons Verts, plus I found some products there that I could not find at Rayons Verts. In that case, at the Caba-biocoop market, I bought different types of sea-vegetables such as dulse, kombu, sea lettuce, nori, and wakami, grains like oats, corn, barley, etc., goat cheese, humus, soy yogurt, miso, and other products for good health, all organic. In fact, the charter of Caba-biocoop reads:

"Our network of Biocoop stores have an objective of the development of organic agriculture in a spirit of fairness and cooperation.

In association with the grouping of producers; we create equitable channels founded on the respect for social standards and exacting ecology.

We engage ourselves on the transparency of our activities and the tracability of our provisions.

Present in professional solicitation, we watch for the quality of organic agriculture.

Our biocoops are the places of exchange and of sensitization for a responsible consumer action."
