The farm’s increasing appeal has been highlighted by Visit Qatar, which recently featured Torba Farm in a video on their social media channels, describing it as “Qatar’s organic treasure”.
Established in the early 1980s in Al Khor by twins Mohammed and Fatma al-Khater, Torba Farm grew into a vibrant green sanctuary over the years.
It now boasts a diverse collection of medicinal, aromatic, and edible plants, along with a thriving ecosystem of local wildlife.
Driven by a passion for sustainability, the farm has evolved into a pioneering producer of 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils, hydrosols, and other botanical products.
All products are rigourously tested for quality, reflecting the farm's mission to promote health and wellness through natural, chemical-free offerings that are ethically sourced and sustainably produced.
According to Torba Market’s website, Torba Farm’s commitment extends beyond its own production as it actively collaborates with local artisans who share its dedication to sustainability and offers a diverse range of high-quality, eco-friendly products.
Torba fosters these small businesses by developing exclusive lines for them and showcasing their goods through its store catalog and farmers' market.
A key focus for Torba is environmental stewardship, implementing natural farming best practices, including regenerative agriculture, permaculture, and biodynamics.
It prioritises water conservation, soil health, and utilise natural and renewable resources, ensuring the land is cared for and respected.
The farm’s current direction is steered by Mohammed and Fatma al-Khater, who took over five years ago.
Mohammed, inspired by traditional Arabic medicine, focuses on reviving time-honoured herbal remedies and re-establishing native Qatari flora.
Fatma meanwhile, became aware of the disconnection between modern life and the land and wanted to use the farm to grow organic fresh produce and create a local market to reconnect people with their food.
Torba Farm products, marketed under the brand “Torba Naturals”, underlines quality and transparency.
The name “Torba” translates to pure soil, reflecting the farm’s commitment to nurturing and natural processes.

Their collection includes high-quality hydrosols and handmade health and wellness items like chemical-free cleaning solutions, lotions, creams, and soaps.
