A Qatar-based initiative, Torba is a unique platform that offers locally grown produce and artisanal goods from Qatar and abroad year-round through the Torba Store, online shop, and seasonally through the Farmers Market.
“Torba” is an Arabic word meaning: “The pure soil that feeds, nourishes and nurtures.”
The aim is to be a gateway toward sustainable and healthy living, supporting mindful Qataris and residents on their health and wellness journeys, and building a community of like-minded people who believe in preserving our planet now and for the future.
Torba are part of a growing community of people who are reconnecting with their food and their planet. There is a growing preference for fruit and vegetables that have been grown locally, and in general, food that is minimally processed, as well as an emerging mindfulness about the impact that we have on our environment, whether it be through understanding the negative effects of single-use plastics or being more aware of the choices we make as consumers.
The market is held every Saturday at the Ceremonial Court, Qatar Foundation till the month of March 2021. Timings are from 08:00 am - 08:00 pm and no tickets are needed.
