Organic welcome baskets

At Holidu, we are always looking for different ways to help you provide your guests with an exceptional experience.

That's why we have partnered with APAEMA, a non-profit association dedicated to the protection and promotion of organic agriculture in Mallorca. 

From the 1st of April 2024, we will offer you the possibility to purchase welcome baskets with local and organic products for your guests.

Below you will find all answers to more common questions:

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

APAEMA is the Associació de Productors d'Agricultura Ecológica de Mallorca, a Mallorcan non-profit association focused on the defence of organic agriculture. They support the island's farmers with various initiatives such as providing a collective kitchen for their members to produce products with higher added value. The work of their partners protects the territory through agricultural practices that are more respectful of the land and ensure a supply of quality, tasty, healthy, and sustainable local products.

Holidu is starting a collaboration with APAEMA to support the movement, as agricultural production and its distribution represents one-fifth of the carbon footprint generated by tourism. We want guests to have the opportunity to get to know the island through its gastronomy, as well as the people and the work behind local products.

Why invest in organic welcome baskets?

Investing in organic welcome baskets is a great way to enhance your guests' experience. Thanks to the surprise element upon arrival, they will perceive the first moments of their trip as highly positive. In addition, you will help raise awareness of the role food plays in the context of climate change while they discover the island through its products and the people who make them. This is an exclusive initiative for Holidu Hosts. Through purchasing these baskets, not only do you support the Mallorcan farmers (the main protectors of the territory), but you can receive better reviews for your property and, therefore, better performance of your listing.

What products do the baskets contain?

All the products included in the baskets come from the farmers associated with APAEMA.

The small basket includes:

- a pack of 3 jars of houmous (3 x 100 g)

- a bar of carob chocolate with almonds (80 g)

- a jar of dehydrated apricots (200 g)

 

The big basket includes:

- a pack of 2 jars of houmous (2 x 100 g)

- a bottle of olive oil (500 ml)

The boxes are made by Aproscom, an association of Manacor that works for the rights of people with intellectual disabilities. These boxes, financed by Holidu, are reusable. Please return them to APAEMA after use to give them a new life.

Can I choose the products for my baskets?
