The Unicorn Grocery is an amazing place

It is based in Manchester and is a worker’s co-operative.

Unicorn Grocery is a co-operative grocery store located in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, England. As a workers co-op, it is controlled democratically by its member/owners, who run the business with a flat management structure and with an equal rate of pay. Ethics form the foundations of the business, and Unicorn’s Principles of Purpose are the framework within which the business operates.

Jo and Sara from Harvest Workers’ Co-op went up to visit. The folk at Unicorn were very generous with their time and energy and have give us a lot of food for thought. The picture gallery gives an idea as to what Unicorn is like. Visit Unicorn Grocery for more information.

We asked our customers for three words to describe what they thought of Harvest Organic Farm Shop. This generated so many good conversations. We then took the words and, using the excellent web tool Tagul,  created a word cloud.

We like looking at the words and spotting connections and sentences that jump out.

If you have any favourite words that could be added do email us and tell us.

We are very excited as the Harvest Worker’s Co-operative is now a proper registered co-operative! We are all looking forward to seeing the Harvest Farmshop continue to grow and education projects start reaching out into the community.

A big thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far.
