The organic boom has been slow to arrive in Mallorca, probably because the local produce is so good and flavoursome that many people assumed that the produce was actually organically grown. However, with growing awareness now, there is a greater selection of organically produced foods and demand is growing. Farm shops and some market stalls now offer organic foods, and organic restaurants are beginning to open up. An organic co-operative has opened in the Mercat Santa Catalina of Palma, selling fresh meats, fruits and vegetables.
