Sindyanna of Galilee

Sindyanna of Galilee is a female-led non-profit that actively promotes the concepts of “business for peace” and Fair Trade in Israel. It achieves this by selling Arab producers’ olive oil and other premium products in the international marketplace according to Fair Trade principles and channeling all of the profits back into Arab women's education.

Established in 1996, Sindyanna of Galilee is the only certified fair-trade olive oil producer in Israel that operates among the country’s Arab population bringing deep functional expertise and a practical approach to build capabilities and deliver real impact. Their work aims to bridge cultural divides, encourage sustainable agriculture, and support organic farming.

Their staff consists of Arab and Jewish women who share a vision of peaceful coexistence and work towards this goal side by side with skill, care, and a passion for the craft. Their fair trade products include organic and extra virgin olive oils, za’atar spice mixes, carob syrup, almonds, honey, olive oil soaps, and various traditional handicrafts.

Each 250ml bottle is $20.

Rish Lakish

The Rish Lakish olive grove and olive oil mill are located in Zippori, a village in the Lower Galilee region. Spread out between ancient archaeological sites and the Israel National Trail, right in the heart of the Jezreel Valley, are 6,000 olive trees, among them 2,500 dating back a millennium. Over the course of four decades the Noy Meir family have carefully restored these trees and with precise harvesting methods produce a pure olive oil rich in history and flavor.
 
In an era where capital determines quantity, The Noy Meir family took a different route. Instead of taking the more profitable and convenient path in which they could outsource the oil-extraction process from a large-scale factory or purchase machinery to shake the olives off the tree, they renovated their chicken coop into an olive mill and recruited members of the community to hand pick each fruit, having complete control over the creation process.
 
With cleanliness as the headline for their work ethic, every step is calculated to produce an end product that is unlike any other.
