We are selling olive oil and other items produced in the West Bank and Gaza to help support family farms, to aid food security, and to promote peace in the Holy Land.
We are taking orders through December 10th, 2023 for mid-December delivery (local DMV only). Please see the ordering instructions below.
- Al’Ard Organic – Al’Ard was started to support Palestinian farmers who were struggling to sell their olive oil at a fair price. $25 per one-liter can.
- Al-‘Ard Playgrounds– Now 10 years on, the company is still putting the farmers first with transparent and fair business ethics. $25 per half-liter bottle.
- Al-‘Ard Rumi – From indigenous Surri olive trees, some more than 1,000 years old. Tangy, with hints of a spicy, peppery finish, perfect for dipping fresh bread or enhancing flavor in cooking. $25 per half-liter bottle.
