Fair Market Value
Ensuring every farmer receives a dignified return for their laborious harvest.
Our Mouneh Darna line brings traditional home-pantry staples to your table — pickles in every style, makdous, labneh, and tomato paste, all made the way our members' own families have always made them. Look for Mouneh Darna on shelves at stores across Salfit city.
Empowering Palestinian Women
Salfit Cooperative works to build the skills and opportunities Palestinian women need to participate fully in their community and its development — with equal rights and access to resources and institutions.
Our homemade products are known for their outstanding quality, crafted by Palestinian women from towns and villages across the West Bank.

Fresh Pastries, Made to Order

Empowerment That Lasts

The People Behind the Harvest
The cooperative gave my family a fair price for our oil and a market beyond our village. For the first time, our ancient trees are securing our future.

Olive farmer, Kufr ad-Dik
Through the academy I learned modern grafting and irrigation. Now I run my own plot and mentor other young women in the district.
