Fatma, our founder, spent her childhood exploring and living on the family farm. She grew worried about how disconnected we had become from where our food comes from, and from the people who make it. That concern inspired the birth of Torba Market.

Torba Market became the first artisan farmers market in Doha, Qatar. Our market in 2017 was simple but quickly became a winter favorite. Wooden booths lined up with farmers and local artisans, handwritten blackboard signs scattered around the produce, under canvas style tents. Soon, Torba became that place where people knew and trusted to provide and source only the best of the best our region has to offer.

We moved online in 2022, to focus on local artisan products, and sourcing organic and ethically produced products that were difficult to find in Qatar.

We are driven to be that place for the conscious shopper, who like us, are tired of the BS of flashy packaging and marketing speak that just doesn’t tell the whole truth. We are not just about knowing our producers, but we really get into the ingredients as well. The smaller the amount of ingredients the better.

We find purpose in promoting, accessible and affordable organic food and products with an emphasis on community building and supporting local.

Fatma Al Khater’s ability to encourage our collective responsibilities to the environment, urge us to start our own sustainability journeys, and to educate us about our inherent need to reconnect with our food and where it comes from is crucial to Torba’s identity.
