Biocoop

1.1 million eggs per year
4,133 hens benefited per year

Biocoop is a network of organic food shops across France. Starting twenty years ago as the first of its kind in France, Biocoop now has 281 outlets in major cities across the country, and an annual turnover of 250 million Euros. Success has been driven by consumer demand in France for ethical food at competitive prices.  All the eggs Biocoop sells are free-range and organic.

Samantha Breitembruch, Attachée de communication: ‘Biocoop began twenty years ago, when a group of dedicated consumers started sourcing their food more ethically from farmers who respected animals and the environment. This consumer-led initiative became the first network of organic food shops in France - with 281 outlets now operating successfully in major cities and towns across the country.

‘Animal welfare is a key part of organic agriculture and Biocoop has been informing its customers about it for the last 20 years. We are honoured to receive this Good Egg Award, not only because it’s a recognition of our work, but also because it shows that organic agriculture is getting more widely recognised by European consumers.’
