Fem Cadena

Organic food, fair trade, and local sourcing

Fem Cadena is a Tàrrega-based business in the Urgell region that sells food selected according to organic, fair-trade, social, and alternative standards. Operating since 2008, it presents itself as an alternative to conventional consumption, offering shopping baskets chosen for food safety, flavor, environmental impact, and social value.

How it buys and works with producers

The company says one of its goals is to carefully select producers and buy directly from them whenever possible to reduce intermediaries. It says this approach can provide more transparency and better prices for everyone involved. Products are grouped into four color-coded categories, both in the physical store and online, to help shoppers identify each type.

Services

• Weekly product baskets.
• Baskets delivered to workplaces.
• Food service for restaurants and other businesses.
• Corporate gift boxes and gifts.

Products and recipes

The website includes a producer directory and recipes made with products it sells, including tofu and sun-dried tomato pâté, quick veggie ramen, and granola.
