Organic Produce

So a couple of months ago we learnt about an organic farm that delivers fresh, organic produce to your door in the Lisbon area. Quinta do Arneiro is a farm with 3 hectares of organic produce. They also promote organic farming workshops and other interesting events. We decided to give it a go. We’ve long thought about all the inherent advantages of organic food, but like many others, always fell in the rut of laziness and comfort. This farm offered to deliver weekly produce to our doorstep with no extra charge. Too good to be true? We decided to give it a shot.

Real food. No additives. No pesticides. Surely worth a try. With a simple email, we were able to order our first basket (actually, it’s a crate) of organic produce, by filling out a form selecting what we wanted. I must say, today was the third week we received produce from Quinta do Arneiro, and despite a couple of shortages (which is to be expected when you order fresh, in-season organic produce), we can say nothing but the best. The products delivered are always of the best quality and fantastic-tasting, totally worth the change. I personally am becoming way too accustomed to fresh veggies being delivered to my doorstep weekly… don’t think I can go back now!

Our first crate! Cauliflower, spinach, peppers, pears, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, eggplant, rosemary…
