YFE X OLIVE ODYSSEY

Yay For Earth

بكل الحب الى فلسطين With all the love to Palestine We are partnering with Olive Odyssey - a Palestinian collective dedicated to sharing the rich heritage of Palestinian farmers and their generational farms. Palestine has some of the oldest olive trees that produce the most nutrient dense olive oil in the world, with original variety trees dating back to 4,000 years ago. Some families have trees passed down for generations! Olive trees are a powerful symbol of the deep connection and care that Palestinians have with their land and their culture. The heart of Palestinians and the roots of the olive tree have been intertwined for thousands of years. Since the brutal occupation, the olive tree and its strong roots symbolize resistance and resilience for the people of Palestine. For this fourth drop we have six incredible Palestinian farmers. All olives are hand nurtured and rain fed from ancient olive trees in Palestine. 8 oz NAZARETH BURQA ABU SNAN BAZARIYA UMM AL-FAHM JENIN Each jar is 2 oz. By purchasing a jar, you support each farmer, their livelihoods and their land. With every lotion, you will receive a farmer's card to get to know the individual farmer that created the olive oil in your jar. With every jar purchased, we will be donating a portion to: THE SAMEER PROJECT. A Palestinian run initiative working to supply emergency shelters and aid to displaced families. They team up with other Palestinian run organizations, like Translating Falasteen, to carry out food and water distributions in the most affected neighborhoods in Northern Gaza, as well as carry out a number of workshops on first aid training for mothers, nurse-led hygiene workshops for preventative measures against diseases, and provide children and adults with self care essentials. (The list goes on, they are amazing!) We are so grateful to partner with Olive Odyssey, for opening up a gateway for Palestinian farmers to connect with people around the world! Through these stories and through olive oil, we can all come together to form a circle of support; nurturing not only the trees, but also the futures of Palestinian families.
