Farmer harvesting dates on a ladder in a date palm

Economic development in the West Bank

These dates are grown by a 12-member farmer cooperative in the Jordan Valley, established in early 2000. Water shortages in the area forced farmers to seek out crops that needed less water to grow. Medjool dates not only require less water but can grow using the slightly salty water that sits under reservoirs of fresh water. These farmers work closely with the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC) who provide technical assistance, processing facilities, quality testing, and exporting services to get their dates inspected, cleaned, sorted, graded and packaged. PARC is a nonprofit organization that promotes the sustainable economic development of 41 farmer cooperatives, helps to improve water supply and critical infrastructure, and provides 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.

Do the dates need to be washed?
Hi Mary, thanks for your interest in the dates. We eat them right out of the box but you can wash them if you'd like.
Are these dates organic??
No, the dates are not certified organic.
About how many are in a bag? It just says "one bag." A pound? A dozen? Any idea, anyone?
It is 17.6 oz.
