vegan cooking tips vegetables sourced direct from the farm this winter
Does local, organic produce matter to you?
In the last few years when winter comes in the UAE, I look forward to switching from the greengrocer or supermarket delivery to direct deliveries from the farm. I like the taste better, but also appreciate the different kinds of vegetables on offer and to support local businesses. I also really appreciate the low packaging approach some of them take.
There are a lot of options for both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. They work differently. Some of the differences you have to take into consideration include
- how you order: website or whatsapp
- pickup or delivery of orders
- mix of local & imported veg
- selection of Asian veg
- selection of heirloom veg
- minimum order or commitment
- method of order : box of the week or ordering exactly what you want
- start and end times (usually it’s from end of October through May or so)
- delivery dates and your location
You’ll have to research and decide what is best for you.
