Mgarr Farms

Mgarr Farms is a Maltese fruit and vegetable business that has grown into a full online grocer. Its tagline, shop local, eat fresh, sums up the idea: produce chosen at its best, prepared by the team and delivered to your door in Malta or Gozo. The business is based in Mosta, in the middle of the island, and is listed in our organic food directory for Malta and our supermarkets in Malta category.

For self-catering visitors and new residents, the appeal is simple. You choose what you want from a large online catalogue, the team picks and packs it, and a driver brings it to the address you give.

Growing, sourcing and grading

The business has grown fresh fruit and vegetables for generations, and it specialises in the growing side of the trade. Alongside its own produce, it sources locally and from across the world to offer a wide range of fruit and vegetables to high standards. All fruit is graded, and only the selected fruit is used to supply customers.

Local items are flagged in the catalogue, including aubergines, red cabbage, beetroot, celery, basil and bay leaves, so you can choose Maltese produce when it is in season. The philosophy is that locally grown food tastes better when picked at its peak, and the business makes a point of selecting vegetables accordingly.

The catalogue is large and clearly organised. Fruit is split into apples, avocado, bananas, grapes, citrus, berries, stone fruit and tropical fruit, with separate local and imported sections. Vegetables run from asparagus and artichokes through cabbage and green leaves, herbs, mushrooms, onions, potatoes, tomatoes and peppers to pumpkins, again with local and imported lists, which makes it easy to build a basket for a week of cooking.

Boxes and everyday shopping

Box offers are a convenient way to shop. The catalogue lists named veggie, fruit and mixed boxes, such as Kul Ha Tikber at €15.50, Tina's Fruit Box at €24.99, Ruzar's Fruit Box at €27.50, Ghal Kulhadd at €28.50, Indri's Veggie Box at €29.99 and Koncetta's Mixed Box at €30.99. A seasonal box offer is priced at €35.00 and carries free delivery.

Loose produce is priced by the piece, pack or weight. Gala apples are €3.25 per kg and Red Star apples €2.75 per kg, an avocado is €0.99 and a bunch of asparagus €9.50. Beyond fruit and veg, the shop covers chilled foods such as dips, deli items, yogurts and butter, beverages, a food cupboard of baking, snacks and cooking sauces, dried fruit and nuts, gifts, salads and soups, meal kits and household items from laundry to pet food.

Prices change with the season, so use the online shop for current figures; this page only reflects what was published when it was checked.

Delivery, hours and ordering

The offer is free delivery when you spend €35 or more. Deliveries run Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 17:00 and on Saturday from 8:00 to 13:00. The office and shop hours are Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 13:00. Because the service covers Malta and Gozo, it works equally well for a villa in the north, a flat in town or a home on the sister island described in our Gozo guide.

Customers create an account to reorder easily: you choose, the team prepares, and the driver delivers. Mosta is close to the walled city in our Mdina guide and the central towns, and nearby businesses include 242.group Malta Offices, A&A Car Imports and Adventure Hub.

Settling in with a good shop
