About Wadi Fuqin
A small Palestinian village where olive trees aren't just a crop—they're a living record of family, season, and home.
Nestled in the Terraced Hills
Wadi Fuqin is a small Palestinian village nestled in the terraced hills southwest of Bethlehem—where olive trees aren't just a crop, they're a living record of family, season, and home.
For generations, families here have shaped the land by hand: building stone terraces, tending ancient groves, and harvesting each year with care and patience. This is farming that follows the rhythm of the place—cold-pressing olives, preserving what the land gives, and passing knowledge from one generation to the next.

Farming Under Pressure
Wadi Fuqin is also a village that farms under pressure. Surrounded by expanding Israeli settlements and restrictions that threaten access to land and water, people in Wadi Fuqin continue to cultivate what is theirs.
In the face of displacement, their answer is persistence: staying rooted, planting, pruning, harvesting, and caring for the terraces season after season. This is sumud—steadfastness—expressed through daily work on the land.
When we say our products come from Wadi Fuqin, we're sharing more than flavor. We're sharing a story of resilience and a commitment to land. Every bottle of olive oil is a direct link to the families who refuse to abandon their groves—and who challenge injustice by continuing to farm.
Sumud: Steadfastness
The Arabic word sumud means steadfastness—the determination to remain on the land, to continue living and working despite adversity. In Wadi Fuqin, sumud is not a slogan. It's the daily choice to tend the terraces, harvest the olives, and pass the farm to the next generation.
