Everyone wants their share of fresh produce that is healthy, nourishing and affordable. With the season beginning to change, now is the perfect time to head out and enjoy the warm weather with family whilst sourcing out the best locally grown produce.

Vincent's Eco Estate, Mġarr
Via Vincent's Eco Estate
The farm sells a large range of organic products such as fruits, vegetables and gourmet foods. The best part is that the fresh produce shop is right on the farm which means that all of the products that are in stock, came straight from the farm.
They also produce their very own extra virgin olive oil with olives found around their olive garden and ‘Vortex area’. Their fresh produce ranges from tomatoes to bell peppers, garlic, onion, lemons and watermelons to name a few and the farm is a fully certified organic farm so you can rest assured knowing that the produce you are eating, contains no harmful chemicals.
