La Fourche est un magasin bio en ligne qui se bat pour rendre le bio et la consommation « positive » accessibles à tous. Le site fonctionne grâce à une communauté d’adhérents qui paie un abonnement, permettant à La Fourche de diminuer ses marges par rapport à un magasin classique et pratiquer des prix jusqu’à 50% moins chers. La Fourche ne sélectionne que des producteurs et des marques de confiance, toutes bio et engagées dans le respect de la santé des consommateurs, de l’environnement et des producteurs. La Fourche is an online organic store which aims at making organic and ‘positive’ consumption accessible to all. Thanks to its membership business model where a community of members pays an annual subscription fee, La Fourche can reduce its margins compared to a traditional store and offer all year round discounts on its catalog up to 50%. La Fourche only selects organic producers and brands with strong values and committed to respecting the health of consumers, the environment and producers.
