I got to know Mensch & Natur better at a tasting event in Munich some time ago and wanted to try more of their products and their service. But first, a little background: Mensch & Natur is a Munich-based online supermarket/farmers' market that exclusively offers high-quality, pure organic products. Unlike other online supermarkets, Mensch & Natur, with its extensive organic range, focuses primarily on regional products from almost exclusively small producers. They offer around 500 products from nearly 60 different farms and manufacturers in and around Munich. The selection represents a high level of craftsmanship and resource-efficient cultivation. While I'm not entirely organic myself, and I don't always automatically choose organic products, I find the topic fascinating and wanted to share it with you. In short: They deliver handcrafted organic food directly to your door in top quality. But more on that later…

People & Nature: Organic Online Weekly Market

Mensch & Natur has set up a very clear and easy-to-understand online shop for organic food on their website. I really enjoyed browsing through the different categories and choosing a variety of organic products. From soy vanilla milk and organic lupin strips to organic fruit and organic risotto with porcini mushrooms, I selected a colorful mix of products to try out. The ordering process is simple and straightforward: select a product, learn more about it under the respective photo if you wish, add it to your cart, proceed to checkout, and you're done. Registering as a new customer is also super easy. You don't have to enter any account details, just your delivery address, and you're all set. (If you have a voucher code, you can redeem it via "Edit Cart.")

Since all the products are organic, they are naturally a bit more expensive than pre-packaged supermarket cheese from the refrigerated section. However, investing a few extra euros at M&N is definitely worth it. It's no secret that organic products are "more expensive" than conventional ones. But there are places where this is justified. Especially when you learn and understand how the products are produced, how they reach people and nature, and how they are manufactured. The product range leaves nothing to be desired, and there is an extensive selection of organic products that you simply can't find at your local supermarket. As I mentioned above, there are, for example, organic lupin sausage, organic rosemary roulade, organic seitan and tempeh, and many other vegan products. There is also a wide variety of honeys, jams, spreads, yogurts, cheeses, fruits, drinks, etc. to choose from – all organic, of course. I would have loved to keep adding more and more to my shopping cart because I was simply thrilled with the selection. Take a look around the shop. If you're generally interested in organic food, you'll be very satisfied with the selection here.

People & Nature in Munich: Large product selection – all organic

One of Mensch & Natur's goals is to give city dwellers – like myself, for example – the opportunity to eat farm-fresh food. After all, the nearest farm isn't exactly around the corner. When you live in the heart of Munich, high-quality organic products aren't so easy to find in the supermarket, or sometimes even impossible. All M&N products carry the organic seal and come from small farms, family businesses, or carefully selected cooperatives. I'm quite interested in the topic of "organic" – not necessarily because I'd call myself an "organic fanatic," but precisely because these days "organic here – organic there" is becoming increasingly important, and you constantly hear organic advocates claiming it's all nonsense and just a money-making scheme, etc. As always, I wanted to form my own opinion and ordered what can be compared to "standard" products. At Mensch & Natur, only products made using the gentle production methods of small-scale producers – in contrast to mass production – and combined with the conservation of natural resources, make it into the bag. The "product anonymity" often found in supermarkets is completely eliminated here and replaced with "food with a face." Ingredients, manufacturing, production, and taste allow you to enjoy the product with a clear conscience. Soon, you'll also be able to view background information and photos of each individual producer of M&N products in the store on the website, giving you an even better understanding of exactly where the food comes from.

Mensch & Natur has been serving Munich for about a year now. The brand itself has been around for over 30 years. Regarding delivery: Currently, delivery of your ordered products is limited to Fridays – this might sound a bit inflexible at first, but it's due to the production schedule of the individual farms. The farmers and family businesses mentioned produce the products regularly, either fresh or in small batches. These are then delivered to Mensch & Natur once a week, from where they are shipped to you. They are currently working on individual delivery times within a two-hour window. Until then, if you're not home on Friday, you can simply have your products left at your door or in your courtyard in practical, reusable insulated boxes. Of course, Mensch & Natur also delivers to offices, or wherever you happen to be to personally accept your order. There's no minimum order value or subscription. You can order as much or as little as you like, as often as you like.

When I placed my order – you can see it in the product image – I opted for some fruit (fresh bananas and peaches), vanilla soy milk, cheese, jam, an organic bread roll, peanut butter spread, risotto, and other items. Everything was delivered reliably, in top quality, and on time. The fruit was wonderfully fresh and juicy and didn't even last until the afternoon. 😉 I ate the small bread roll with my lunch, and in the afternoon I made myself a peanut butter sandwich, drank a glass of the delicious vanilla milk, and sampled the jam. In the evening, I had the aforementioned organic lupin strips with rice. A truly "people-and-nature organic day" – to my complete satisfaction and with products that you simply can't buy on every corner.

My conclusion:

Mensch & Natur has everything your heart desires – except for sweets and cakes. 🙂 From butter to beer, from organic pecorino to organic gnocchi. With Mensch & Natur's online weekly market, a trip to the supermarket or even an organic shop is practically unnecessary. I'll definitely keep Mensch & Natur in mind when it comes to organic food and hassle-free shopping.

I'll order again: Yes.
