General information

La Osa, is a Food Coop Market that has been created with the aim of transforming the existing consumption model here in Madrid, Spain, allowing members to participate actively through cooperation and teamwork while building an alternative to commercial profit-oriented business.

To make this transformation happens, we need your help. We need some initial funds, that added to the contribution made by our members, will help us to ensure a mortgage already negotiated with the Ethical bank. This mortgage it´s fundamental to complete successfully our project.

This is the reason why we´re reaching to you via this campaign asking for your help. We want to make sure that we´re open in mid-2020 to serve our growing community.

La Osa is nonprofit and proposes a business model that strives to reduce our impact in the world supporting sustainable production & distribution. We´re engage in building a community where we act as buying agents and where social and environmental principles are shared with in and by our members. We´re committed to diversity and equality. We strive to make La OSA welcoming and accessible to all.

Member participations is a key factor that differentiate La OSA from other market models, allowing to reduce operative cost and increase benefits for members. La OSA will reduce commercial margins to provide coop members with good quality product at lowers prices.

Team and experience

2decologico (2D) is an organic food store located in Malasaña (Madrid) that has been providing seasonal, sustainable and locals products since 2016 to the neighborhood.

MARES, was a program runned by the city of Madrid that focused on social equity and urban transformation. Taking Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn, New York, as a model , started mobilizing people in the community that will be interested in the creation of the first Food Coop in Madrid.

MARES provided 2D with resources, advice and help to build a team of volunteers and professionals that shaped the future supermarket. After several months of hard work and planning, 2D became La OSA.

La OSA has now a dedicated team of 6 employees that, with the help of other Coop members, is leading all the efforts to ensure the completion of the project by mid 2020s.
