What does ‘farm to table’ actually mean? For some, it’s a direct relationship between a farm and a restaurant. For others, organic produce procured daily at local farmer’s markets. No matter the perception, everyone agrees it makes a huge difference – the food is fresh, it’s healthy and it’s delicious! Ibiza truly embraces this movement and here are some of its most shining examples.
TERRA MASIA IBIZA
This is the biggest organic farm on the island. They have restored the land, recovered the health of the trees, restored the fertility of the soil and brought an enormous finca back to life. The finca has a beautiful aesthetic, simple but yet timeless, fusing perfectly the natural materials with the rural surrounding. The farm has become a pleasant place to visit and meet. During the summer months, the farm hosts farm-to-table dinners for members of the farm, inviting chefs to cook on an open fire & enhance the delicious taste of the products grown directly at the farm.

EL PORTALON
Located in the picturesque Ibiza Old Town, El Portalon is leading the way in reinventing traditional Ibicencan cuisine using local & sustainable ingredients. The seasonal menu draws inspiration from the owner Anne Sijmonsbergen book: Eivissa: The Ibiza Cookbook. Anne is the face of Ibiza’s burgeoning farm-to-table food scene, using only the freshest ingredients coming from her own garden, when this is not possible, she loves sourcing the best locally grown food at local farmer’s markets.

LA GRANJA
La Granja is a beautiful farmhouse hotel located in the beetle-dry pine forest in the hills way above San Antonio. The finca, which dates back to the 18th century, has thick rocky walls crusted with brilliant white plaster. The hotel features only nine bedrooms, a chic pool, a mezcal bar and its own vegetable plots. So food can’t get fresher than this!
