Where to get: organic herbs and vegetables in Pakistan? (Aka. Where to find Kale in Karachi)
Sungold Organic
Karachi
In their own words: “Sungold Organic Vegitable (sic) come from a six acre farm, located in the Qasim Town Limits, mid way between the National and Super Highway” Interestingly they also have a relatively wide selection of herbs, usually tricky to find (though admittedly easy to grow, if you’re into that sort of thing) including oregano (and Kale too! :).

Nadoz Greenz
Lahore
“Nadoz Greenz grows a wide selection of organic herbs, salads & veggies and is committed to use sustainable growing practices like imported seeds, water management, no use of fertilizers & preservatives.“. Nadoz has an impressive variety of herbs, even if a tad pricy. Currently not much is in season sadly. Also available at Hyperstar in Lahore.
I haven’t much luck trying to get back to me to actually deliver the stuff I wanted. I suspect if I chase them some more they will eventually cave in though :)

Margalla Mushroom
Islamabad,Lahore
They aren’t organic, but at least they aren’t tinned, or those tasteless Gulf Mushrooms. Supply seems to vary wildly through the year.

Farmigo

Have a relatively large – though varying – supply of vegetables and various meats. Mostly imported stuff, though they also stock local fresh Pakistani mushrooms and other seasonal vegetables. Have a selection of imported cheeses too.
