Community Co-op Market

Founded in 2019, Community Co-op Market (CCM) is a retail food co-op serving Tallahassee, Florida. We’re on a mission to ensure that everyone has access to healthy, delicious food and build strong local communities while doing good for the world. Though we are community-owned, membership is not required to shop here. There's always great food and warm community at the co-op table — and there's always a seat for you! Community Co-op Market (CCM) exists to improve the health and wellness of the communities it serves through its retail food stores. CCM operates as a cooperative owned by its members and is dedicated to improving the quality of life for its staff, customers, suppliers and neighbors. Co-op Values & Principles Co-ops are based on values not unlike those we subscribe to individually, including self-responsibility, democracy, equality, honesty and social responsibility. In addition to these common values, seven basic principles serve as guidelines to provide a democratic structure for co-ops around the world. While adoption of these principles is not required, most co-ops choose to adopt them for their business. The seven principles are: Ownership (who owns the co-op) Voluntary and open membership Voluntary and open membership Democratic member control Democratic member control Decision making (how decisions are made in a co-op) 3. Member economic participation4. Autonomy and independence Special Practices (the ways co-ops put their beliefs into action) 5. Education, training and information6. Cooperation among cooperatives7.
