LA FARM AT HOME
ENJOY OUR AHORA Y AQUI FLAVOURS AT HOME
Even if La Farm and its olive, almond, and orange trees might be in hibernation during winter season, you can still enjoy all the flavours from our menu – right at your home.
Starting this winter season, we are presenting a new exclusive offering with our La Farm at Home experience. Our team of chefs at La Farm have curated a variety of different menus and dishes that will be delivered right to your doorstep. To be precise, beyond the doorstep. The final preparation of all the fresh ingredients and menu items will be done by our renowned chefs crew around head chef Victor Perez Prieto in front of your eyes and in your kitchen.
Bookable options will be displayed from November 10 by selecting date and number of attendees (between 8 and 50) for the La Farm at Home experience.
The culinary journey through Ahora Y Aqui at La Farm and for the La Farm at Home experience, is a unique tribute to the unique history of the Balearic Islands, with a variety of colourful and flavourful oriental and African influences. It is a celebration of the Balearics and the world at the same time. It’s inspired by everything and everywhere, but it’s not bound to anything except respect for the elements. Our menu reflects, admires, and communicates this essence and purity of nature.
Combining the highest quality and freshness of ingredients with the magic of spices, the menu will take you on a unique journey for the senses.
La Farm at Home is available from beginning of November until the end of March. You can easily check availability on a specific day and book your La Farm at Home experience directly through our online reservation system.
The minimum number of people for the experience is 8, the maximum number 50. The price per person ranges between 120 and 150 depending on your menu selection. Our restaurant team will be working with you on your tailored menu.

Insights from a real mastermind
Interview with Vivek Singh
WHAT’S THE SECRET OF SPICES?
The secret of spices lies in their ability to elevate senses like little else. Through taste, smell, texture (touch) and colour, spices create magic. Whether used on their own or in combination with other spices, they create layer upon layer of flavours, lifting the simplest of ingredients to dizzying heights of enjoyment.
Akin to creating music in an orchestra, spices are the performers in a kitchen, helping, supporting, responding at the command of the conductor. Contrary to popular belief, they are always there to support, to improve, to enhance any ingredient, never to overpower or take over.
Whilst the debate goes on about whether we have 5 senses, or 7, or indeed 22, spices go about their role in enhancing ingredients, their lives, as well as contributing to our health via their medicinal and preservative qualities.
EARTH, WIND, FIRE, AND WATER. SHOULD FLAVOUR NOT BE THE FIFTH ELEMENT?
Earth, air, fire, water, and space.The debate continues whether flavour should be an element too, or should flavour and time be the 5th and 6th elements.
Well, it’s clear to us that cooking isn’t possible in the absence of any of these elements, so we need all of them. But the question is why cook at all? And if the answer is to create or recreate an ‘experience’ then both flavour and time become just as relevant.
Cooking and food have the ability to transport people to a place and time, both in the past or in the future. Of the millions of species on our planet, no others ever cook their food, we are the only species to do so. Even more, we are the only species that cooks for others. The power of this connection to the elements, the act of giving to others, the power to create memories of a time and place, the ability to touch the hearts and minds of others through an act (cooking), is what makes these experiences unique.
La Farm will celebrate this connection among the different elements and combine them to create experiences which will be truly memorable. Whether it’s simple vegetables grown locally and roasted on the fire via freshly baked flat breads using local artisanal flour to freshe seafood being treated with the respect it deserves, or even truly interested guests learning to cook at La Farm during their stay, each of these acts will be a truly authentic experience that will connect the elements and elevate the senses.

– A range of multi-sensory experiences that combines sound, sight, smell, theatre, and taste
WHY IS LA FARM A PERFECT THEATRE STAGE FOR THE CELEBRATION OF FLAVOURS?
The Balearics have their own unique history of oriental and African influences over the millennia. Layer that with the more recent European interaction. Combine that with the Mediterranean climate and environment. Season liberally with influences we all experience each day in today’s global world. Marinate each of these in the unique combination of elements at La Farm and we have pretty much a perfect recipe for a celebration of flavours.
This unique celebration is both outward facing and inward looking at the same time. It’s both a celebration of the Balearics as well as the world at the same time. It’s inspired by everything and everywhere, yet not tied to anything except its respect for the elements. The La Farm experience is both from nowhere and from everywhere. It is the NOW & HERE of a connected, mindful experience.
