The olive harvest is in full swing in Palestine, with friends and family gathering together to hand-pick the olives, and this year there is a bumper crop of olives so there is much to celebrate. For Zaytoun, this is the 15th olive harvest we've participated in, and we are more determined than ever to continue our mission to support the resilience and livelihoods of Palestinian farmers under occupation.
We've come along way in 15 years, having been initially funded by hundreds of customers who put up payment in advance of receiving their oil. Then with funding from Triodos Bank, we developed to offer a wide range of Palestinian fine foods, and supported Palestinian farmers to pioneer the world’s first Fairtrade certified olive oil in 2009. Since then we've won awards recognising the quality of the products and our ethical foundations.
We wouldn't be here without you, and now to celebrate 15 years, we are asking for your help again so that we know what we're getting right and what we can do better. This customer survey will only take a few minutes of your time and will be hugely appreciated.
Thank you as always,
The Zaytoun team
