SeedPod Co-op

Dorchester, Massachusetts,

United States

We are a 12-bedroom co-op house in Fields Corner, Dorchester. We share vegetarian meals, purchase our food collectively, share household chores, hold weekly house meetings, and are dedicated to community and social justice.

Our house is part of Boston Community Cooperatives (BCC), an organization formed to build community through cooperative living, member education, neighborhood improvement, and collective action. Members participate in a no-equity model of communally owned, democratically controlled, and affordable residential cooperatives.
