Regional market – Munich – Today I would like to introduce you to a very special "supermarket".„Regional market – Fresh produce from the farm to your door“ is an online marketplace for high-quality, and above all, regionally sourced food. I first became aware of it at the "eat & Style" food fair in Munich some time ago and took the opportunity to learn more, chat with the friendly team, and then test some products by ordering them online.
Besides the outstanding taste of each individual product, the exceptionally wide variety of regional products in the online market is particularly impressive. Here you can find everything your heart desires – in a culinary sense: fresh bread, cheese, spreads, jams, fruit, cakes, pastries, meat, and much more. The quality and freshness of the regionally grown food are paramount. Humane animal husbandry, sustainable farming methods, and a focus on a specific area of expertise characterize the farms and producers that Regionalmarkt collaborates with. The products offered in the online market are therefore always seasonally adapted. You can expect authentic flavors thanks to daily fresh harvests and continuous food quality control. The individual farms where the products are sourced are located no more than 100 km from Munich. I find it reassuring to know that what's on your plate was produced "right around the corner" – a rare quality for products bought in supermarkets. I especially appreciate that, upon request, you can even be taken to the farms and thus fully experience the quality of the farms and their products firsthand.
This makes it much easier to eat more healthily and consciously. Additionally, you gain valuable knowledge about which farm and producer in the region the product comes from, or rather, which farm you are supporting with your purchase. Regionalmarkt works closely with the respective farms, presents their working methods and philosophy on their website, and offers their products in their online shop. The detailed information makes it much easier to learn about the origin, ingredients, and production of each product. A clear advantage over products in conventional supermarkets, in my opinion – I often find myself wondering exactly what I'm eating. Here, a completely different, more natural, and much more transparent shopping experience is created. The online shop and market do not offer any goods from wholesalers or other suppliers – only from Regionalmarkt's regional partners.
Another big plus is the reliable delivery service: Deliveries are made directly from the farm six days a week, punctually and on schedule, to your desired address – whether at home or in the office. After placing my order, I was completely satisfied with the service, received friendly assistance, and was given my goods with the advice to put the refrigerated items directly into the refrigerator. I opted for a carrot and nut bread, which tasted wonderfully fresh and intensely flavorful. It was delicious paired with the chili cream cheese (from Anderlbauer Farm) I also ordered for €3.60/150g, or the organic blueberry jam (from a Demeter farm) for €4.80/220g. Everything was exceptionally fresh, flavorful, and natural. The delicious cinnamon stars I received as a sweet treat afterward were also a dream and disappeared far too quickly. The Thalhamer egg noodles (€4.40/500g), the nut braid (€5.20) from the Steingraber farm bakery, and the wonderfully delicious apples – all were excellent and highly recommended. I especially enjoyed the nut braid and the noodles. You can see for yourself how fresh the products are in the pictures.
The regional market is also practical – at least that's how I see it – because there's no subscription involved. If you want regional products, you can order them completely freely, whenever you like. You don't have to stick to any time window or buy a certain quantity. This kind of thing always put me off regular fruit or food deliveries, because I might then prefer to eat out, and the food I ordered would go bad or they'd have too much in stock. With the regional market, you can put together each order individually.
The delivery times are also very convenient. From Monday to Saturday, you can choose your preferred delivery time between 2 pm and 10 pm and wait for your delivery. This way, you receive your groceries fresh and easily, without having to go shopping, and you support local farmers by selling their products without much extra effort on their part. Your order is forwarded directly to the farms, where the food is freshly prepared for you – it doesn't get any fresher than that. And most importantly, you know exactly what's going on your plate.
You can easily pay online via bank transfer or PayPal. Even if you haven't ordered groceries online before, and regional products are certainly a bit more expensive than in a regular supermarket, I would definitely recommend placing an order. It's best to take a look at the extensive selection on the website right away (here) . Under the separate category "new products" you will also find information about new delicacies that you can have delivered. A great and uncomplicated way to eat healthily and consciously, in my opinion. For example, take a look at the „Gourmet brunch“For €48 with a comprehensive product package – I think I'll take advantage of that soon… Orders over €30 are delivered free of charge.”.
I'll order again: Yes, if I place great value on fast delivery, friendly service and, of course, absolutely fresh and regional produce.
