5 online platforms to buy fresh produce directly from farmers in Spain
Avoid the supermarkets for fresh fruit and veg to support local growers while saving money
Buying fresh fruits and veggies from supermarkets can be a real wallet-drainer as store prices continue to rise month after month. But what if you could get your hands on delicious, locally-sourced produce while supporting Spanish farmers and saving some cash in the process?
Enter the world of online platforms that connect you directly with the people who grow your food throughout Spain. These five online platforms allow shoppers in Spain to choose from a variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables, all at a fraction of the cost of what they charge in supermarkets.
1. EAP (European Agricultural Product)
EAP is all about fairness - fair prices for farmers and fair prices for you. This platform allows you to buy directly from more than 70 farmers, with options to choose from pre-designed boxes or surprise boxes, all at a lower price than what you'd pay at the supermarket.
It’s a very personal shopping experience as you can learn the story behind each farmer and the origin of their produce. With a subscription option starting at just €8.60, you can get a 4-kilo surprise box delivered to your doorstep every week, every two weeks or every month.
2. CrowdFarming
This pioneering platform was started by young farmers who wanted to make a living doing what they love. CrowdFarming allows you to adopt a tree, choose your own box or subscribe to a regular delivery of organic goodies.
With more than 554,280 trees adopted and 4,754,937 boxes shipped, this platform is making a real difference in the lives of farmers and consumers alike.
3. Agroboca
Agroboca is all about keeping things simple and local. This platform connects you with organic farmers from all over Spain, offering a wide range of fruits, veggies and other products at affordable prices.
You can search for specific products, browse by region or opt for a pre-prepared basket. And with prices like €1.30 per kilo for potatoes or €40 for a 12-kilo seasonal box, you can't go wrong.
4. naturr
If you're a foodie looking for gourmet products at a good price, naturr is the platform for you. This online store showcases the best of rural Spain, with artisanal cheeses, cured meats, honey and olive oil all available for purchase.
From spicy hake roe pâté to Guijuelo ham, you'll find something to tantalise your taste buds.
5. Pepito's Garden
Last but not least, we have La Huerta de Pepito, a family-run farm that's been cultivating delicious produce for almost half a century. This online store offers seasonal fruits and veggies, all picked and shipped on the same day.
With free shipping and a soon-to-launch subscription plan, you can enjoy the freshest produce in Spain without breaking the bank.
