More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

People love this organic extra virgin olive oil from the land of milk and honey! Because this product is Fair Trade, the grower cooperatives get good prices, plus replanting of olive trees, olive grove research, and scholarships for their children. A portion of each sale helps the Rebuilding Alliance rebuild communities and make them safe. To expand our marketing and fulfill more orders, we seek seed funding.

Activities

Hold tastings at Rotary Clubs, places of worship, and house parties to build buzz. Then on to neighborhood food festivals, the San Francisco Green Festival, and your neighborhood store!
