Organic Welcome Baskets

At Holidu, we're committed to helping you create memorable experiences for your guests. That's why we've partnered with APAEMA, a non-profit association dedicated to the protection and promotion of organic agriculture in Mallorca.

From 1 April 2024, you can purchase welcome baskets filled with local, organic products for your guests. Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about this initiative.

What is APAEMA, and why does Holidu collaborate with them?

APAEMA is the Associació de Productors d'Agricultura Ecològica de Mallorca, a Mallorcan non-profit focused on defending organic agriculture. They support the island's farmers through initiatives such as a collective kitchen for members to produce higher-value products. Their partners' work protects the territory through farming practices that respect the land and supply quality, tasty, healthy, and sustainable local products.

Holidu is collaborating with APAEMA to support this movement because agricultural production and distribution accounts for around one-fifth of the carbon footprint generated by tourism. By offering organic welcome baskets, we want your guests to discover the island through its gastronomy, as well as the people and the work behind local products.

Why offer organic welcome baskets?

A welcome basket is a simple yet meaningful way to start a guest's stay on a positive note. It also raises awareness of how food connects to climate impact while introducing guests to the island through its products and producers. This is a Holidu-host initiative grounded in our local presence in Mallorca. By purchasing these baskets, you support Mallorcan farmers and add a thoughtful detail to your guest's stay.

What products do the baskets contain?

All products in the baskets come from farmers associated with APAEMA. We offer two options to suit your property and budget:
