Coop is your neighborhood marketplace — buy real, handmade, and homegrown goods from the people a few blocks away, not a warehouse across the country. Open Coop and see who's selling near you: the baker down the street, the family with backyard eggs, a farm stand with a fresh weekend batch of something good. Everything is local by design — Coop shows what's available around you, so the money you spend stays in your neighborhood. DISCOVER WHAT'S NEARBY Browse a live feed of local food and goods from sellers around you, or explore the map to see who's close. Filter by category — groceries, ready-to-eat, home & garden, and more — or search for exactly what you're after: fresh eggs, sourdough, produce, honey, handmade gifts. TRADE & BARTER Some neighbors would rather swap than sell. Sellers can mark themselves open to trade ("looking for: eggs, firewood, welding work"), and you can filter for trade-friendly sellers and start the conversation in chat. FOLLOW YOUR FAVORITES Found a seller you love? Follow them from their page — or right from your receipt — to keep up with their newest listings and updates. NO SELLERS NEARBY YET? Coop shows you the closest ones, how far away they are, and makes it easy to invite someone who makes, bakes, or grows. Every neighborhood market starts somewhere. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE Checkout is simple and secure, powered by Stripe. Your order goes straight to the seller, who confirms and prepares it for pickup. MADE-TO-ORDER, DONE RIGHT Ordering something custom? Your card is held — not charged — until the seller accepts and completes your order. No surprises. SELL WHAT YOU MAKE OR GROW Turn your kitchen, garden, or craft into neighborhood income: list in a few steps like a digital farm stand, share your shop, and stay in control of every order. Payments are handled for you. Coop is commerce that stays in the neighborhood — a farmers market in your pocket. Good things, made right next door.
