Our Story

A Story Older Than the Trees Themselves

For nearly a century, one family has tended the same terraced hillsides in Palestine — pressing oil that carries the weight of memory, and the promise of what comes next.

WHERE IT BEGINS

The First Trees

In 1926, our great-grandfather planted his first olive trees on a quiet hillside outside Bethlehem. He believed that a tree, once rooted, becomes a promise — to the land, and to whoever tends it next.

Nearly a hundred years later, those same trees still stand. Their branches have witnessed weddings and hardships, harvests and hope, and they continue to yield some of the purest olive oil in the region.

OUR JOURNEY

Three Generations, One Grove

Each generation has added its own chapter, without ever losing sight of where we began.

1926

Roots Take Hold

Our great-grandfather plants the first olive trees and builds a small stone press by hand.

1958

A Family Tradition

The grove passes to the next generation, who expand the land and deepen ties with neighboring farmers.

2003

Coming Home

A third generation returns, modernizing the press while preserving centuries-old cold-pressing methods.

Today

A Brighter Tomorrow

Lilly Grove shares Palestinian olive oil with the world, reinvesting in the land and people behind it.

stable livelihoods for the farming families
who tend our trees.

harvest, preserving the flavor and
antioxidants nature intended.

The Purpose

A portion of every sale goes back into our
communities — funding education,
