CITY FARM  
 
The story of organic tastes begins in 2000 as City Farm heads its way in order to support organic life...

City Farm, which became part of the Esas Holdings in 2001 and since then grows fast under the leadership of Emine Kamışlı Sabancı, carries today natural life to city centers with its 48 devoted employees, 4 shops and more than 120 sales points. The goal of City Farm, which is certificated for its product storage, transportation and retailing operations, is to protect future generations with quality food that adds value to a healthy life as well as contribute to establish and spread the awareness of a healthy life by offering the unique pleasure of organic tastes ... Exactly this is the reason why City Farm offers its customers organic products, which were grown far away from environmental pollution with genetically unmodified seeds and without using any chemical or synthetic additives and packaged accordingly .

City Farm has assumed the duty to expand the organic food market in Turkey, as the country has only a low share in the world's organic market despite its high potential for organic agriculture due to its ecology and location. Therefore, the company enriches its product range continuously. City Farm, which began its activities in 2000 with 16 products, has soon reached a variety of 383 products and become the biggest organic food retail brand of Turkey. The fresh organic fruits and vegetables group of the company, which consisted only of a few items at the beginning, but has reached today 30 items with immense efforts and is sold on seasonal basis in various shops and market chains in open or packaged form, is a sign of the rapid development of City Farm.

Furthermore, City Farm initiated the production of first organic eggs in Turkey. These organic eggs produced to protect the health of future generations, are obtained from chickens under the control of veterinarians and fed with organic feed that contains no coloring agents and no hormones, antibiotics or chemicals whatsoever to increase fertility. City Farm aiming to become renowned also for its meat projects in the near future, serves conscious customers, who care a healthy nutrition and look for quality, variety and continuity, each day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in its five shops in Çiftehavuzlar, Ataşehir, Etiler, Yeniköy, and Akatlar Club Sporium in Istanbul. City Farm, which has launched its "Eve Organik" (Home Delivery Organics) in September 2005, gathers the freshest vegetables, fruits, dried food and drinks according to the season and delivers these items weekly to the houses of its customers upon demand. The organic tastes of City Farm meet furthermore an ever-growing group of organic food consumers all over Turkey through its more than 120 sales points in big market chains such as Metrogross, Carrefour, Tansaş, Macrocenter, Migros, Real, Champion, and Kipa.

Besides increasing the consumption of organic food and offering organic products to customers at reasonable prices, City Farm involves also in efforts to raise awareness of organic agriculture and products. The company contacts its customers directly in shops and market chains, enhances their awareness on organic food via the Internet and the press, and communicates the meaning of the term "organic" as well as the concept of organic agriculture and its benefits to young mothers, children and all consumer groups by way of joint projects implemented together with private hospitals and schools. City Farm licensed by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Turkish Republic and certified by independent international certification institutes has become the brand that is most relied on by consumers of organic food, thereby penetrating our lives in the most healthiest way ... One can't get enough of City Farm's tastes!
