Ruqahia Mohammad Saleem Mos’ef of PARC harvests olives by hand

Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC)

Olive farming is both economically and culturally important in the West Bank. Many of the olive trees on these farms have been passed down from generation to generation, representing deep familial ties to the land. The farmers work closely with the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC), who provide technical assistance, processing facilities, quality testing, and exporting services, as well as relatively low-cost olive pressing. PARC also shares best practices for pruning and plowing, in addition to other agricultural training. As a non-profit organization, they promote the sustainable economic development of 41 farmer cooperatives, improve water supply and critical infrastructure, and provide social services for women, children, and families in the West Bank.

Read this update from PARC to learn more about what the situation has been like for farmers in the West Bank.

Four of our coffee team in front of the roasting machine

Our worker-owned, solar-generating roastery

At our Massachusetts HQ, our team batch-roasts coffee daily under a 1,418 panel solar array, bringing out the best flavors of each harvest. At the lighter end of the roast spectrum, we accentuate the unique fruity and floral notes within the beans. As the roast length increases, the natural sugars in the coffee beans caramelize and darken to elicit a richer body. Our darkest roasts fully express the beans’ natural oils, yielding subtle smokiness and flavors akin to dark chocolate. At every level, our expert team creates a smooth, clean, and balanced cup with reliable consistency from batch to batch.

Q&A

What is the difference between virgin and extra virgin olive oil?: The difference is in grade. Extra Virgin has a slightly high grade for aroma and flavor then virgin.
am just wondering if i can get olive oil delivered to Pakistan, please. i have checked multiple 'palestinian olive oil websites' and non seems to offer delivery to Pakistan, may i please ask, why.: Hello Noor, unfortunately, we do not sell our olive oil internationally as we are not set up operationally to handle overseas retail sales. However, this is something we may consider adding in the future.
