🧀 Meet Your Makers: Saturday 10 October at Farmer’s Deli

If you’ve been part of the Farmer’s Deli community for a while, you’ll know we’re particularly fussy about where our products come from, and the people behind them.
We look for producers we can trust. People who work honestly, respect their ingredients and keep heritage and traditions alive, often choosing the slower, more demanding route.

On Saturday 10 October, we’re beginning a calendar of in-store events designedrr to bring you closer to the makers of your favourite products. A chance to taste, ask questions and discover the people and decisions behind what you take home.

Our first guests are David Mifsud and Mark Scerri, the founders of Delectat. David is a university professor In the Delartment of Rural Sciences & Food Systems; Mark is an accomplished Food Biotechnologist. Their creamery brings ambition and craftsmanship to local cheesemaking, producing cheeses that make us proud to put them alongside our favourites from France, Britain and the Alpine regions.

You’ll meet David and Mark, taste their cheeses and hear a little about how they’re made - from their guidance and surveillance over the herds they source their goat and sheep from, to what shapes their cheeses’ flavour.

Alongside Delectat, we’ll have our new-harvest premium olive oil from Tuscany’s Poggio Oliveto, served with your favourite ancient grain sourdough breads from Sicily.

Another corner will be dedicated to our exciting new launch of the Highland Soap Company and their beautiful scents from the Scottish Highlands.

The format will be informal: good things to taste, a glass of w**e and time for a proper chat. Come with a friend, drop in on your own, or make it part of your Saturday shopping.

We hope these gatherings will become another way to enjoy the Farmer’s Deli - always discovering something new, getting closer to our partnering producers and meeting the extremely interesting people we are proud to call Farmer’s Deli family and friends.

Saturday 10 October, Noon-2pm
Farmer’s Deli, San Ġwann

See you in the shop 🧀

Meet David & Mark, founders of the local and artisanal Delectat creamery, at the Farmer’s Deli in San Gwann on Saturday 10 October to taste and understand their cheeses

🍲 The Pleasure of Cooking Again 🌿

There is something almost magical about this week. The weather is decidedly cooler; clouds have become part of the forecast, together with welcome rain. There is an unmistakable feeling of autumn in the air. With all schools officially reopening next week, our BACK TO SCHOOL shelves are full of prac...

🧀 Mondays are quite taxing for us. So, from the morning, I’m already picturing a piece of really good cheese, a few grapes and olives, some sourdough and a glass of red w**e beside a flickering candle.

🕯️It sets the mood, helps me through the mundane obstacles of the day and gives me something quietly lovely to look forward to: a simple, zero-prep dinner that unwinds the nervous system, lifts the soul and eases me into a peaceful, restorative sleep.

Tuesday mornings feel all the better for it. 🍷🕯️🍇

Local, artisanal cheeses by Delectat are now available regularly at The Farmer's Deli

🍲 The Pleasure of Cooking Again 🌱

With just one long weekend left to enjoy on September 21, this really feels like our last week of summer mode. According to the forecast, it’s going to be a rainy one too, and finally, temperatures are set to drop a few degrees.
Practically, that means we can start easing back into a little more structure and routine. And somehow, after months of eating around the heat, it feels rather exciting to think about one-pot casseroles bubbling away, pasta bakes, hearty soups, trays of roasted vegetables and proper sit-down dinners again.

But September doesn’t need a dramatic reset. It can simply mean restocking the fridge mindfully with the right nourishing ingredients, bringing a little order back to the cupboards and having a few dependable meals in mind for the week ahead.

Think Skyr, fruit and granola for breakfast, or scrambled eggs with cottage cheese and avocado on sourdough bread; pitta, wraps or ancient grain pasta with crunchy vegetables and smoked fish for lunch; and lentils, beans or organic, pasture-raised meat with more seasonal vegetables, a squeeze of lemon and a really good olive oil for easy dinners.

All it takes is a little more structure, fewer decisions and, above all, good ingredients.

🧺 This Is What Shopping With Us Says About You

September is a month of transition. The solar exuberance of summer begins to soften, giving way to autumn’s mellower rhythm and, eventually, winter. It is also Su***de Awareness Month, and I feel compelled to pause here. I write not from a distance, but as someone who has been there: navigating th...

“It’s kind of chic…”

There’s a phrase doing the rounds on social media, usually followed by a reflection on how our idea of what is desirable is changing.

Less about expensive labels, more about recognising quality: natural fabrics, craftsmanship, provenance.

And increasingly, food.

Because perhaps one of today’s most understated luxuries is knowing what good food actually is — and choosing honest, clean food that nourishes you rather than feeds the marketing machines of large food chains.

At Farmer’s Deli, every time you choose what goes into your basket, you’re doing more than buying food. You’re creating demand — quietly supporting the farmers, producers, traditions and ways of making food that you believe deserve to continue.

Our shelves are built around that idea.

We seek out small producers, many of whom we know personally. Producers whose value isn’t in volume, but in quality, integrity and continuity.

Their food carries memory: the taste of a tomato at the height of summer, grains grown in the same landscape for generations, recipes and traditions passed down long before nutrition became a marketing language.

Here, the produce writes the menu. Sometimes that means waiting an entire year for an ingredient to return — because seasonality is part of what makes good food good.

So yes, perhaps food shopping really is becoming a new kind of status symbol.

Not because of what it costs or the label it carries, but because choosing well requires something far more interesting:

Culture. Curiosity. Knowledge. Discernment.

It reflects your values — and, quietly, the person you aspire to be. 🌱
