Community Grocery Store (CGS) – Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: March 13, 2025

Welcome to CGS. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Community Grocery Store mobile application and platform (“CGS” or the “Platform”). By creating an account or using CGS, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use of the CGS platform.

1. Jurisdictional Restrictions on Token Sales

‍CGS’s governance tokens are not offered or available in certain jurisdictions. In particular, no token sales or distributions are made to users in jurisdictions with strict cryptocurrency regulations or active legal enforcement against crypto token trading. This includes, without limitation, the United States of America and any other country where offering or selling crypto tokens would violate local law or require registration. If you are a resident or citizen of a restricted jurisdiction, or accessing CGS from one, you are prohibited from purchasing, trading, or obtaining CGS tokens through any CGS-offered sale. CGS disclaims any liability for token transactions attempted in violation of these restrictions. You are responsible for knowing and complying with the crypto laws of your jurisdiction before engaging with CGS tokens.

2. Food Safety Compliance

CGS is a marketplace intermediary connecting growers and consumers, and CGS does not certify or enforce food safety regulations on the products sold. Compliance with all applicable food safety, health, and agricultural standards is the sole responsibility of each grower and is overseen by local government authorities. By using the Platform, growers represent that their products comply with relevant local food safety laws, and consumers acknowledge that CGS is not liable for the safety or quality of goods purchased. CGS does not assume any duty to inspect or guarantee food products, though we may provide tools for community reviews and feedback on product quality. Note: CGS is continually working to integrate global food safety features into the Platform (such as traceability systems or compliance badges) to help promote safer transactions. However, any such features are for informational purposes only and do not transfer responsibility for food safety compliance away from growers or regulators. Ultimately, all users agree that local laws and authorities govern food safety, and CGS’s role is limited to providing the technology platform for connecting buyers and sellers.

3. Stablecoin and Token Usage Clarifications ‍

3.1 In-App Transactions and Stablecoin (USDC)

‍All financial transactions within the CGS app (purchases, sales, and fees) are conducted using a U.S. Dollar-backed stablecoin, specifically USD Coin (USDC). This means that when users load funds into the app or make payments, those funds are converted to USDC for use on the Platform. Prices for goods and payouts to growers are denominated in USDC to ensure a stable medium of exchange and to minimize volatility. By using the app, you consent to transactions being carried out in USDC. You may need to connect a digital wallet or use integrated payment methods to handle USDC as described in our guidelines. All in-app credits, payments, and withdrawals utilize USDC for settlement. (For example, any transaction fees collected by CGS are held in stablecoin form (Tokenomics & Blockchain Economy) for transparency and ease of conversion.) Users are responsible for any compliance requirements related to the use of stablecoins in their jurisdiction. CGS does not itself issue USDC; it uses the stablecoin as a transaction medium, and USDC redemptions or stability are managed by its issuer (Circle), not by CGS.

‍3.2 CGS Governance Token (DEX Token)

Separate from App Transactions

CGS has a separate governance token (the “CGS Token”) which is used for participation in the platform’s decentralized governance (via a DAO). This governance token is entirely independent from the in-app USDC transactions. The CGS Token is not available for purchase or exchange within the CGS mobile application – it can only be acquired or traded on external cryptocurrency exchanges (e.g., on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap). This separation exists to comply with app marketplace policies (including Apple App Store guidelines) that prohibit in-app cryptocurrency trading or payments using unapproved digital currencies. As such, the CGS Token has no payment or transactional function inside the app and cannot be used to buy or sell products on the CGS Platform. All in-app purchases must be made in USDC or other supported traditional payment methods; the governance token is purely for governance and related rewards.

Governance Token Use

‍Holding CGS governance tokens grants users the ability to vote on CGS’s DAO governance proposals and thereby influence the platform’s direction (How Holding CGS Tokens Works). Governance token holders may also be eligible for rewards and incentives based on their participation (see Section 7 below), but ownership of the token does not confer any ownership stake in CGS’s assets or guarantee of profit. The token’s value may fluctuate on the open market, and any purchase of the token is at the user’s risk. By acquiring CGS Tokens, you represent that you are doing so in compliance with all laws applicable to you (and not from a restricted jurisdiction as per Section 1). CGS Tokens do not represent a claim on any fiat currency or on any portion of CGS’s revenues; they are intended for use in community governance and reward mechanisms only. CGS is not liable for any losses or regulatory consequences arising from secondary market trading of the governance token.

4. Loyalty and Referral Programs

CGS offers programs to reward its community members for their participation and for referring new users. Participation in these programs is optional but subject to the conditions below. All rewards are provided as credits or funds in the CGS app (typically in USDC or equivalent credit) and have no cash value until redeemed in the app pursuant to these Terms. CGS reserves the right to modify or terminate the loyalty and referral programs at any time, with or without notice, but any earned rewards prior to modification will be honored in accordance with the Terms in effect at the time of earning. ‍

4.1 Referral Program Details

Our Referral Program rewards users for inviting new users (growers or consumers) to join CGS. The following terms apply to referrals:

Eligible Referrer and New User

‍To qualify for a referral reward, the referrer must be a registered CGS user with a verified account in good standing. The new user (referred friend) must be new to CGS, sign up using the referrer’s unique referral code or link, and complete the verification process (including unique mobile number verification). Each individual can only be referred once. Multiple accounts or referrals for the same individual are not allowed and will be disqualified. CGS may use verification methods (e.g., phone number, email, KYC information) to ensure each new user is genuine and unique.

One-Time Referral Reward

‍For each successful referral, the referrer is eligible for a one-time referral bonus once the new user meets all criteria. Specifically, the referred user must make a purchase (or purchases) totaling at least $200 USD (in USDC equivalent) through the CGS app within their first 30 days of joining (Referral Reward System). If this spending threshold is met, and the new user’s transactions are completed without refund or dispute, the referrer will receive a $5.00 USD referral reward credited to their CGS account (Referral Reward System). This credit is typically applied after a 7-day waiting period following the referred user’s qualifying purchase, to ensure the transactions are finalized and not subject to chargebacks or refunds (Referral Reward System). The one-time referral reward is limited to one per referred individual. (For example, if two existing users both refer the same friend, only one referral bonus will be granted for that new user’s first $200 purchase, typically to the user whose code was used at sign-up.)

Referral Bonus Rewards (Ongoing)

‍In addition to the one-time bonus, CGS offers an ongoing Monthly Bonus Referral Reward to encourage continued engagement. After the referred user’s first month, for each calendar month during the first 12 months after the new user’s signup, the referrer can earn a bonus if the referred user continues to make significant purchases. If the referred user spends at least the threshold amount (currently $200 USD) on the CGS app in a given month, the referrer will receive a bonus reward for that month (Referral Reward System). The bonus reward is calculated as a percentage of the referred user’s monthly spending on the platform (currently 0.5% of the total amount spent that month, with $200 being the minimum to trigger a reward) (Fair Grower Marketing Fees). This bonus is credited once per month after the month’s spending is verified and is also subject to a 7-day hold period after the month’s end to account for any refunds (Fair Grower Marketing Fees).

Duration

‍The Monthly Bonus Referral Reward is offered for up to 12 months from the referred user’s join date. It begins in the referred user’s second month (since the first month is covered by the one-time bonus if eligible) and can continue each consecutive month the threshold is met, up to the 12th month. After 12 months, no further referral bonuses accrue for that referred user. Months in which the referred user does not meet the spending threshold simply yield no bonus for the referrer that month (the program does not extend beyond 12 months even if some months are skipped with no reward).

Bonus Reward Amount

‍The bonus is proportional to the referred user’s spending, at the rate of 0.5%. For example: if the new user spends $250 in a given month during this period, the referrer would earn a $1.25 bonus for that month (0.5% of $250). If the user spends exactly $200, the bonus would be $1.00 for that month. All such bonuses are aggregated and credited to the referrer’s account similarly after the refund hold period each month. (In the earlier example: if Jill spends $250 in her second month, Jack – the referrer – would receive a $10 bonus for that month under the terms that were initially advertised (Referral Reward System).

‍Note: CGS’s official current bonus structure is 0.5%, which would actually be $1.25 on $250; any higher amount mentioned in illustrative materials is superseded by the 0.5% rule in these Terms. CGS will honor at least the 0.5% bonus; specific promotional periods could increase this amount, but unless explicitly stated by CGS, 0.5% is the standard rate.)

Referral Program Limits and Abuse

The referral rewards are intended to encourage genuine growth of the community. Each referrer is subject to a limit of one one-time reward per referred user, and a referred user can only trigger rewards for a single referrer. Users may not create fake accounts, fictitious identities, or refer themselves in order to fraudulently obtain rewards. Any indication of abuse, gaming the system, or violation of the referral terms (such as a referred user failing to be a unique, bona fide individual, or collusion between users to simulate transactions) will result in forfeiture of referral rewards and possible suspension of accounts. CGS reserves the right to reclaim or adjust rewards if a transaction is reversed or found to be fraudulent. We may also suspend or ban users (referrers or referees) who attempt to abuse the referral system.

Disclosure: Referral rewards are provided as a promotion and not as wages or income. Any tax implications for receiving referral bonuses are the responsibility of the recipient. CGS may require additional verification or information before issuing a reward, and can refuse rewards if it believes issuing them would violate any law or these Terms.

4.2 Loyalty Cashback Program Details‍

CGS values loyal users and offers a Cashback Reward Program for purchases made through the Platform. This program currently applies to consumers (buyers) and grower-users on the platform when they make purchases, and provides a small cashback on each eligible transaction. The key points of the loyalty cashback program are:‍

Cashback Rate

‍Users will automatically earn 1% cashback on the gross amount of each eligible purchase made via the CGS app (Consumer Loyalty Cashback). This means for every $100 spent on CGS, you earn $1 in cashback rewards. The cashback is typically calculated in USDC (or converted to an equivalent amount of USDC or in-app credit) and credited to your CGS account balance. Example: If a consumer or grower spends $200 on produce through CGS, they would receive a $2 cashback reward (1% of $200) (Consumer Loyalty Cashback).

Eligible Purchases

‍The cashback applies to all marketplace purchases made by consumers and by growers who are buying items through the app (for instance, a grower purchasing supplies from another grower, if such transactions are enabled). At this time, purchases from or by certain seller categories, specifically “farmers,” are excluded from the cashback program (Fair Grower Marketing Fees). (CGS is evaluating the fee structure for farmers on the platform and has not finalized how farmers are integrated into the loyalty program; until fee structures and participation for farmers are defined, transactions involving farmers may not accrue cashback.) CGS will update these Terms once the farmer category is included in the loyalty program. All other users earn cashback on their own purchases regardless of whether the seller is a grower or farmer, unless stated otherwise in specific promotions.

Issuance of Cashback

‍Cashback rewards are typically credited to the user’s account immediately upon transaction completion or after any standard holding period (e.g., once the 7-day refund window passes, similar to referral rewards, to ensure the purchase is final). The cashback can be used for future purchases on CGS or withdrawn according to our withdrawal policies. Cashback has no monetary value outside the platform until withdrawn in accordance with CGS procedures.

Limits and Expiration

There may be monthly or annual limits on total cashback a single user can earn (for example, CGS may cap cashback at a certain amount per user in a calendar month) – any such limits will be stated in the app or on our website. Currently, there is no stated expiration on the cashback rewards; they remain in your account until used. However, CGS reserves the right to impose expiration dates in the future (with notice) or to adjust the cashback percentage. If the program is modified or discontinued, CGS will honor cashback already earned but not yet used, or will provide equivalent value.

Exclusions

‍The 1% cashback does not apply to fees, taxes, or tips paid in a transaction – it is calculated on the product subtotal only. It also does not apply to any purchases outside the CGS app or to any attempt to purchase CGS Tokens or other assets (it strictly applies to marketplace transactions for goods on CGS). If a transaction is refunded or canceled, any cashback earned from that transaction will be debited from the user’s account (or will not be provided). Abuse of the cashback program (such as attempting to “wash” transactions between two accounts to earn cashback) is prohibited and will result in loss of rewards and potential account suspension.

By participating in the Loyalty Cashback program, users acknowledge that the program is a promotional feature and not an entitlement, and it may be changed or terminated at CGS’s discretion. We will endeavor to communicate any changes clearly.

5. Dispute Resolution (Governing Law and Venue)

These Terms & Conditions and any disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the CGS Platform or the services provided are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). CGS is organized as a BVI business entity, and by using the Platform you agree that any claim, dispute, or controversy you may have against CGS that arises from or relates to these Terms or your use of the service will be finally resolved in accordance with BVI law.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the British Virgin Islands for resolution of any dispute. At CGS’s election, disputes may also be resolved through binding arbitration in the BVI under an established arbitral forum if allowed by law, but in all cases BVI law will apply. You agree not to bring any claim or action against CGS in any jurisdiction other than the BVI.Furthermore, you agree that any dispute resolution will be conducted on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action. CGS’s failure to enforce any particular provision of these Terms in a given instance shall not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it or any other provision in the future.

This Section 5 does not limit any rights you may have as a consumer under mandatory laws, but in the event of a conflict between those laws and these agreed Terms, we both agree to try to respect the intent of these Terms to the extent possible.

To help navigate the key issues in our food system, click on the topics below:

Government Inflation & Taxation

Excessive tax & currency devaluation inflate prices.

Intermediary Inflation & Profiteering

Multiple middlemen add extra costs to propduction.

Produce Freshness & Travel Distance

Long transport reduces freshness & adds expenses.

Corporate Greed & Monopoly

Supermarket chains prioritize profits over affordability.

Supermarket Process & Carbon Production

High emissions from food transport and storage.

Pollution Beyond Carbon

Packaging waste, pesticides, and soil degradation.

Government Inflation & Taxation

‍

The Problem

Government overspending and excessive taxation on goods and services artificially drive up the cost of fresh produce at every stage of the supply chain. With each transaction from farm to distributor, wholesaler to retailer, taxes compound, significantly inflating food prices. Additionally, currency devaluation caused by unchecked government spending leads to shrinkflation, where consumers pay more for less as the dollar’s purchasing power declines.

Further burdening farmers, governments impose tariffs and regulatory fees that raise production costs, which are inevitably passed down to consumers. The resulting regulatory complexity disproportionately affects small farmers, making it harder for them to compete. This dynamic allows supermarkets and large-scale agribusinesses to dominate the market, reinforcing a monopolistic and unsustainable system that prioritizes corporate profits over local food security and affordability.

‍

The Solution

Community Grocery Store opens the fresh produce market to local growers, challenging monopolistic practices and fostering greater competition, which helps drive prices down to more realistic levels.

Built on a direct peer-to-peer trade model, Community Grocery Store removes financial intermediaries, eliminating multiple layers of taxation that are found when money changes hands. By leveraging blockchain technology, the platform minimizes transaction fees typically imposed by banks and payment processors, ensuring transparent and predictable costs per transaction.

By localizing food trade, Community Grocery Store expands income opportunities for small and mid-sized growers directly reducing inflation and supporting economic growth within low- and middle-income communities. This approach strengthens local economies and promotes a more balanced global marketplace, reducing reliance on corporate-controlled food supply chains.

Intermediary Inflation & Profiteering

‍

The Problem

Every business in the supply chain deserves to make a profit, a business cannot survive without profit, but when fresh produce changes hands multiple times, each intermediary adds its own markup. These cumulative profits stack on top of one another, inflating prices without adding any real value to the end consumer (in comparison to if they had grown the fresh produce themselves).

Most of todays fresh produce moves through multiple intermediaries wholesalers, logistics providers, supermarket chains and financial institutions each increasing costs with handling fees, storage expenses, and price markups. While some of these services are necessary, the compounding effect of stacked profits significantly raises the final cost of food. By the time produce reaches consumers, its price is often many times higher than its original farm value, making fresh food less affordable and increasing the financial burden on households.

‍

The Solution

Community Grocery Store aims to eliminate unnecessary middlemen, allowing direct trade between consumers and growers through an efficient digital marketplace. By cutting out excessive handling and driving customers to visit growers (including farms), farmers retain more of their earnings, while consumers pay less for fresh produce.

With blockchain-based transactions, Community Grocery Store removes the control of financial institutions over transaction fees, ensuring transparent, predictable, and lower costs per trade. This system ensures fair pricing, eliminates hidden markups and restores balance to the fresh produce market, benefiting both local growers and consumers.

Produce Freshness & Travel Distance

‍

The Problem

The traditional food supply chain forces fresh produce to travel thousands of kilometers before reaching consumers, passing through multiple intermediaries, warehouses and distribution centers. This extended journey not only increases costs but also reduces freshness and contributes to excessive food waste. Long-haul transportation requires extensive refrigeration, further driving up energy consumption and carbon emissions. The longer produce remains in transit, the lower its quality, forcing supermarkets to rely on preservatives and artificial ripening methods to maintain shelf appeal.

‍

The Solution

Community Grocery Store aims to minimize travel distances by enabling consumers to buy directly from local growers, cutting out unnecessary distribution layers and reducing the need for long-haul logistics. By expanding local market reach, Community Grocery Store gives farms the capability to sell high volumes of fresh produce directly to local consumers and markets instead of relying on supermarket supply chains to upkeep sale volumes. This shift keeps food production and consumption within a smaller geographic radius, preserving freshness, lowering costs and reducing the environmental impact of food transportation.

Corporate Greed & Monopoly

‍

The Problem

Supermarkets prioritize profit over food quality, sustainability and fair pricing. Backed by investors, they buy up key real estate to block local markets from expanding, ensuring dominance over food supply. Using predatory pricing tactics, they undercut local competitors until they fail, then inflate prices unchecked, leaving consumers with no affordable alternatives. Farmers are trapped in low-paying contracts, with supermarkets dictating terms that suppress farm incomes while increasing retail prices through manipulative pricing algorithms. High-demand items are priced up, yet none of these profits reach the growers.

To maximize shelf life, supermarkets use chemical sprays, artificial ripening and coatings that may pose health risks. Large-scale farms, forced into razor-thin profit margins, resort to GMO seeds, excessive pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, compromising biodiversity and soil health and ultimately compromising the consumers health on consumption. This model is unsustainable and built solely for corporate profit. Without action, food prices will continue to rise, local farms will disappear and consumers will be left with fewer choices, lower-quality food and unchecked price inflation. Protecting food system diversity is essential to breaking this cycle.

‍

The Solution

Community Grocery Store transforms the fresh produce industry by empowering local growers and consumers through direct trade, eliminating the corporate control that inflates prices and exploits farmers. Unlike traditional supermarket-driven supply chains, Community Grocery Store operates as a decentralized marketplace, allowing growers to sell directly to consumers without intermediaries dictating prices or taking excessive profits.

The Community Grocery Store tokenomics model ensures fair profit distribution, redirecting value back to the people who grow and purchase the food, rather than corporate investors. Farmers receive fair compensation for their produce, while consumers avoid inflated costs caused by unnecessary markups.

By removing middlemen, artificial pricing strategies and restrictive contracts, Community Grocery Store creates a more balanced, sustainable and transparent food system where fresh produce is affordable, locally sourced and community-driven.

Supermarket Process & Carbon Production

‍‍

The Problem

Industrial farming and the modern food supply chain are major contributors to carbon emissions, with machinery, fertilizer use, transportation, refrigeration and warehousing consuming vast amounts of fossil fuels. A typical diesel-powered tractor emits 2.7 kg of CO₂ per liter of fuel, with large-scale farms burning hundreds of liters per day for plowing, seeding and harvesting. Irrigation pumps, sprayers and other heavy equipment further increase emissions, collectively producing 5-10 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare annually. Synthetic fertilizers add another layer of environmental damage, generating 3-4 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare due to energy-intensive manufacturing and soil emissions.

Once harvested, food embarks on an emissions-heavy journey through the supply chain, often traveling 1,500 to 5,000 kilometers before reaching supermarket shelves. Diesel-powered transport emits 0.25 kg of CO₂ per ton-kilometer, meaning a single truckload of produce can generate several tonnes of emissions before it even arrives at distribution centers. Cold storage facilities further add to the carbon footprint, producing 0.5 to 1.5 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne of stored produce per month. By the time food reaches consumers, the total emissions from farm to shelf can exceed 50 to 100 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne of food produced, underscoring the unsustainable nature of industrial agriculture.

Despite the availability of fully electric vertical farms that operate on renewable energy, require fewer resources and produce cleaner, fresher food, traditional farms remain locked into outdated, high-emission practices. The high costs of electric farming equipment, precision agriculture and renewable energy solutions make it nearly impossible for small and medium-sized growers to transition. Without financial support or systemic change, farmers are forced to continue using fossil-fuel-driven machinery, while food supply chains remain inefficient, wasteful and environmentally harmful.

‍

The Solution

The Community Grocery Store directly addresses the carbon inefficiencies of the modern food supply chain by reducing transportation emissions, supporting low-carbon farming and decentralizing food distribution.

By enabling direct-to-consumer trade, Community Grocery Store eliminates some of the requirement for long-haul transportation, which is a major contributor to carbon emissions. Traditional supermarket supply chains require food to travel 1,500 to 5,000 kilometers between storage locations and warehouses before reaching shelves, producing several tonnes of CO₂ per shipment. In contrast, Community Grocery Store connects consumers with local growers, dramatically cutting transport distances and reducing emissions. Decentralized supply chains also reduce reliance on fuel-intensive trucking and refrigeration, further lowering carbon output.

Community Grocery Store incentivizes local low-carbon footprint farming practices that can operate using sustainable methods such as solar-powered irrigation, electric farming equipment and organic soil management. By removing limiting financial barriers imposed by Supermarkets that prevent small and medium-sized farms from gaining enough capital to invest in electric tractors, precision agriculture and vertical farming, Community Grocery Store will support a shift in the industry away from fossil-fuel dependence.

The platform integrates AI-driven demand forecasting, enabling growers to match production with real consumer demand, minimizing overproduction and the carbon emissions associated with food waste. Additionally, Community Grocery Store fosters a circular economy, ensuring surplus produce is repurposed as animal feed rather than being wasted, while promoting localized distribution through pick-up hubs and last-mile delivery via electric bikes, vehicles and shared routes, significantly reducing reliance on high-emission long-haul trucking.

Through these innovations, Community Grocery Store transforms food supply chains into a low-carbon, sustainable ecosystem. By shortening transport routes, reducing energy consumption and supporting renewable-powered farming, Community Grocery Store is leading the shift toward a carbon-efficient, climate-conscious food system.

Supermarket Process & Additional Pollution

‍

The Problem

The industrial food system generates significant environmental pollution beyond carbon emissions, primarily through plastic waste, excessive pesticide use and soil degradation. Supermarkets rely heavily on single-use plastic packaging, contributing to millions of tonnes of non-biodegradable waste that pollutes landfill and oceans. Additionally, large-scale farming depends on synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, which not only degrade soil quality but also contaminate waterways, harming ecosystems and reducing biodiversity.

Monoculture farming where vast areas of land are dedicated to a single crop further exacerbates the problem by stripping soil of essential nutrients, increasing erosion and making farms dependent on artificial soil amendments. This unsustainable agricultural model depletes the land over time, reducing its ability to absorb carbon and support healthy crop yields without intensive chemical intervention. If left unchecked, these practices will continue to degrade soil fertility, water quality and overall environmental resilience eventually resulting in unfarmable land.

‍

The Solution

The Community Grocery Store platform directly addresses these environmental challenges by promoting minimal packaging, organic growing methods and sustainable trade practices. By removing the need for supermarket style plastic packaging, Community Grocery Store encourages consumers and growers to adopt biodegradable, reusable, or package-free alternatives, significantly reducing plastic waste.

Community Grocery Store also supports regenerative agriculture, which focuses on soil restoration, crop diversity and natural pest control rather than chemical-dependent farming. Through direct-to-consumer trade, the platform incentivizes organic and sustainable farming practices, allowing growers to shift away from synthetic fertilizers and harmful pesticides. By minimizing the need for long-distance food transport and centralized supermarket distribution, Community Grocery Store also reduces the environmental footprint associated with warehouse storage, plastic-wrapped bulk shipments and wasteful packaging materials.

Additionally, Community Grocery Store fosters a circular economy for food production, where excess produce is redirected to animal feed or composting instead of becoming landfill waste. By supporting local food ecosystems, encouraging low-impact farming and reducing plastic dependence, Community Grocery Store provides a scalable, sustainable solution that not only reduces pollution but actively restores the environment.

A Broken Food System in Need of Change

The traditional food supply chain is inefficient, wasteful and financially draining. Community Grocery Store is a modern, community-driven alternative that restores control to local producers and consumers.
