Buy Palestinian olive oil for the holidays
From Brooklyn
Parents for
Peace
Support Palestinian farmers and families by purchasing fairly-traded olive oil from small farmer cooperatives in the West Bank. Olive Branch Olive Oil comes to us from the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees (PARC) a non-profit non-governmental organization in the West Bank.
Enjoy delicious, extra-virgin, first-cold-pressed olive oil, produced without pesticides or sprays. (Palestinian farmers traditionally care for their trees without the use of pesticides or sprays. The process is underway for obtaining organic certification.) Bottled in dark green glass bottles for optimal storage, to avoid light; storage advised in cool conditions.
Support tree re-planting and other development projects in Palestine.
Give gifts of olive oil as a way to initiate conversation with friends and family about conditions in Palestine.
Price: $20 per 750 ml bottle. Olive Branch Olive Oil is bottled in dark green glass bottles to avoid light. Storage is advised under cool conditions. (Both light and heat are known enemies of olive oil.) A portion of the purchase price is donated to tree replanting and other development projects in the West Bank. Proceeds also support the ongoing peace and justice work of Brooklyn Parents for Peace.
To arrange for pick-up times and locations, or to purchase larger quantities, contact us at is.pales@brooklynpeace.org, or call 718-624-5921. (Sorry, we cannot mail or deliver to you.)
