ORGANIC MARKETS PALMA DE MALLORCA
ORGANIC MARKETS PALMA DE MALLORCA
Christina Helen Rowe
"Favourite markets in Palma and around the island selling 'bio' certified ingredients directly from growers. Tiny village markets don't have certified organic options, but if you ask there will be always be chemical free options from local gardens."

A small market on Wednesday, no certified ingredients but Esteban in the very centre of the market is very knowledgeable and will tell you exactly how everything is grown, & what was grown without chemicals. He supplies the beautiful sustainable restaurant 'Terrae' in Pollenca.

A tiny market with no certified organic ingredients but blessed by the presence of a falafel shop which is incredible called 'El Hummus' in the square, a chef from Tel Aviv, using local ingredients where possible. @elhummus.es

Sineu Market

SINEU MARKET
9-2
A vast and sprawling market, the oldest market in Mallorca, fresh produce in the church square, a wonderful artisan cheese maker happily dispensing samples, mainly sheep and goat with divine additions like rosemary and truffle 'Can Guiem’. A herbalist who grows 140 herbs without chemicals on her land and sells fresh & dried herbs only at this market.

Spend HOURS here wandering, soaking up market life, listening to street music. Two incredible bio growers Omar @utopik.samarjal and Isabel with produce grown organically in Sa Pobla and Muro in the church square.

Pollença Main Square
@verde_ent
POLLENCA MARKET SUNDAY 8-2
I loved this market, sitting in the square in sunshine eating Pamboli with locals at 'Ca' n Moixet'. A tiny little Sunday Market just off the main square with a beautiful ‘bio' grower Isabel selling from her farm in Muro.

Deià
@verde_ent
DEIA MARKET WEDNESDAY 9-4
A tiny little market with fresh produce, although not organic, freshly made joyous samosa & coffee roasters ‘Cafe Social’. Perfect to fortify for the winding walk up to ‘that’ breathtaking chapel on the hill. If you’re magical, a cat might follow you to the top and eat a samosa! Located in the carpark ‘Carretera de Deià’.

Mercat de Santa Catalina
@verde_ent
A favourite stop after attending yoga at
RAMA, when ravenous. Having come to the sad conclusion there were no chemical free vegetables, on one of my last visits while shopping for Christmas ingredients I stumbled across some biodynamic cheesemakers also selling the most incredible organic ingredients
'Ecoilla'.

Mercat de l’Olivar
@verde_ent
A cool place to hang out, although some people think it's touristy and prefer
'Pere Garau' nearby in the bohemian Middle Eastern Quarter. The scene of my first epic food adventure in Palma - tapas and wine at a favourite in the fish market 'Bar Del Peix’. Followed by oysters and cava, early morning.
In fresh produce 'Va De Bio', a fruit and vegetable gallery with organic seasonal Mallorcan ingredients, and if as lucky as me, random cooking lessons with a local chef 'PEP' who l often found nibbling on home brought delicacies in between customers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christina Helen Rowe
I had this dream, after staying with Mum in New Zealand in a little town called Tokoroa halfway on a motorway between Auckland and Wellington, where the trucks stop. After scouring a supermarket for organic ingredients, and finding it devoid of inspiration and beautiful produce, I found this guy called Alan in a carpark selling organically grown vegetables directly from his farm. They were less expensive than the supermarket and completely fresh and luscious with life. The few people I knew in Tokoroa had absolutely no idea about this man and it took me a while to realise he was there. I wondered if it would be possible to create a platform to find the most beautiful artisanal produce, or the freshest organically as a bare minimum, biodynamic vegetables wherever you were in the world. Alan gave me his number and said I could meet him on Tuesdays also if I was ever running out of vegetables. The seed of the dream though, actually started many years before with my love of markets. I had a job one winter in the South of France, Sanuary sur Mer. On the weekends I would head for Aix en Provence, get up early on Saturday morning and wander down to the market in time to watch everyone set up their stalls, sitting on the edge of this in wonder sipping my espresso. Later I worked in a fresh produce shop in London for a few years, sourcing from artisan growers, regenerative, people preserving ancient farming techniques and began to learn the seasons and truly about the most stunning ingredients. It is the whole energy of the market place that captures my attention. The farmers who bring their produce directly, you can actually sense the vitality, the life! It makes you feel completely alive! And connected to the earth and the seasons.
