Mariposa Mission Statement:
Mariposa is organized according to the principles of the international cooperative movement (http://www.ica.coop/coop/principles.html) to provide residents of West Philadelphia and beyond with access to and information about food, especially healthy, locally-grown or otherwise sustainably-produced products. Our primary activity is running a food co-op owned by those who shop there, who actively participate in its governance and operations on an egalitarian consensus-seeking basis.
