10 Wishes to care for Menorca's countryside and strengthen local consumption

In Menorca, the countryside is more than just a landscape. It is a way of life, a cultural heritage and an essential part of our identity as an island. At Supermercats San Crispín, as a consumer cooperative and local supermarket in Menorca, we feel deeply connected to the people who work the land, care for livestock, fish, farm and keep our natural environment alive.

That is why we begin 2026 by sharing 10 wishes to continue caring for Menorca.
These wishes reflect values, commitments and a way of understanding consumption: more local, more responsible and more closely connected to the territory.

1. That buying local products becomes the first choice for Menorcan families
We hope awareness will grow about the importance of shopping at Menorca’s local supermarkets, where local products take center stage and generate direct benefits for the territory.

2. That every purchase helps preserve Menorca’s agricultural landscape
Fields, dry-stone walls and rural paths exist because farming remains active. When we choose locally sourced products, we help keep this landscape alive and productive.

3. That health and territory go hand in hand
Eating fresh, seasonal and locally sourced food not only improves health, it also reduces emissions and supports local producers who protect the environment.

4. That Menorca reduces plastic and increases the number of farmers
We want a future with less waste and more cultivated land. We support sustainable models that strengthen local agriculture and livestock farming.

5. That conscious eating starts at home
Planning, avoiding waste and choosing local products is an easy way to support the countryside and strengthen food sovereignty.

6. That caring for the land is a shared responsibility
Preserving the territory requires the involvement of everyone: producers, consumers, institutions and local commerce.

7. That the food supply chain is fair and dignified
We wish for a 2026 in which Menorcan farmers, livestock breeders and fishermen receive a fair price for their work, essential to ensuring quality products in the island’s supermarkets.

8. That Menorca’s biodiversity enters our kitchens every day
Native and seasonal varieties not only offer more flavor, they also keep Menorca’s agricultural diversity alive.

9. That Menorca becomes increasingly self-sufficient in food
Every time you buy local products, you strengthen the island’s ability to feed itself and reduce external dependencies.

10. That cooperation continues to be a driving force for change
At San Crispín, we believe in the power of community. The cooperative model proves that when we work together, we can create real and sustainable transformations for the territory.

Thank you for being part of this journey

In 2026, we want to continue working with you to promote responsible consumption, strengthen Menorca’s local supermarket as a value-driven agent, and keep supporting everyone who cares for our land. Together, we can make Menorca’s future greener, closer and more sustainable.
