Organic To Go is redefining healthy eating by making it both accessible and enjoyable. Based in the sun-drenched Costa del Sol, this innovative service delivers fresh, organic produce straight from local Andalucian farms to customers’ doors. More than just a meal delivery option, Organic To Go supports small-scale organic farmers, promoting sustainability and community well-being.

From High-Stakes Finance to Sustainable Farming

The driving force behind Organic To Go is Carsten Dreyer Christensen, a former finance and energy professional who traded high-pressure boardrooms for the fields of organic farming. In 2015, after years in the corporate world, Carsten shifted gears and immersed himself in Denmark’s thriving organic agriculture scene. 

His perspective transformed during his first days on the farm. ‘I wasn’t initially passionate about organic living,‘ he admits. ‘But when I saw how technology and nature intertwined, like plants generating music through sensors, it completely changed my understanding of sustainable farming.’ 

That revelation sparked a deep appreciation for organic food and its scientific foundations. Over the next six years, Carsten helped build a successful organic meal box service, honing his expertise in regenerative farming, composting, and the health benefits of organic produce. 

A New Chapter in Spain 

In 2022, Carsten relocated to Spain, drawn by its culture and sunny climate. However, he quickly noticed a gap in the market: high-quality, affordable organic food was scarce. ‘In Denmark, over 30% of food sold is organic,’ he explains. ‘Here, it’s either hard to find or prohibitively expensive.’ Many small farms prioritized exports over local sales, leaving health-conscious consumers with limited options. 

Determined to make a difference, Carsten launched Organic To Go in early 2025. His vision? To bridge the gap between local farms and consumers while promoting sustainable eating. Partnering with nearby organic producers ensures the freshest ingredients, and collaborating with longevity chef Louise Rakers adds culinary expertise to the mix. Together, they craft nutritious, flavourful meals that support a healthier lifestyle. 

Farm-to-Table Transparency 

Each week, Organic To Go sources seasonal produce from trusted Andalucian suppliers, including: 

Flor de Doñana – Known for sweet, pesticide-free strawberries and eco-conscious farming. 

Regenerative farming cooperatives – Prioritising soil health and biodiversity. 

Local artisans – Supplying organic eggs, grass-fed meats, and handmade specialities. 

Unlike large supermarket chains, Organic To Go emphasises full transparency. Customers can trace their food’s origins, building confidence in sustainable quality standards. Currently serving areas from Málaga Airport to Estepona, the company plans to expand its reach soon. 

Why Choose Organic Produce in Spain?

Healthier Choices – Organic produce is free from synthetic pesticides and GMOs, offering higher nutritional value. 

Eco-Friendly Impact – Local sourcing reduces carbon footprints and supports sustainable agriculture. 

Community Focus – Carsten often personally delivers orders, creating a personal connection with customers. 

Navigating Obstacles

‘Launching an organic venture in Spain has certainly presented its fair share of challenges and hurdles that we have had to navigate through. The stringent certification processes demanded by regulatory bodies, along with unexpected logistical setbacks such as a recent nationwide blackout, have truly tested the resilience and adaptability of our team. Despite these obstacles, we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers, with many expressing their appreciation for the high quality of our products and the convenience of the service we provide. This encouraging response highlights the potential for growth in the organic market and motivates us to persevere even in the face of adversity.‘

‘People tell us they’re eating better because of Organic To Go,’ Carsten added. ‘That’s the ultimate reward.’

Organic to Go: Looking to the Future

Carsten’s goals include expanding delivery zones and partnering with more regional farms. He’s also committed to educating consumers on the benefits of organic living for both personal health and the environment. By strengthening community ties and promoting sustainable practices, Organic To Go aims to make wholesome eating the norm, not the exception. 

Movement for Healthy Food Supply

Carsten believes organic food should be accessible to all, not just a privileged few. His mission is simple: to make sure everyone can enjoy delicious, nourishing meals without compromise.
