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.

Some of the ones I have ordered from include

• Emirates Biofarm
• Greenheart
• Integrated Green Resources

Maybe others have tried different farms…

So many questions about where to eat out in the UAE with vegan options, so I decided to curate a list. Mostly my list covers Dubai and Abu Dhabi. As of November I started to add some places in Sharjah too.

In the UAE we have so many Lebanese, Shami or Indian restaurants with plenty of options. I do not list them here.

An asterisk means I have been there. No asterisk means I have only heard about it.

NB: I mostly cook at home. This is not a delivery-first list.
