Make Your Thanksgiving Sweeter And More Giving

Add a touch of sweetness and flair to your Thanksgiving table by incorporating HNY Sage blossom raw honey into your recipes. With its wonderfully unique flavor, raw honey can enhance appetizers, sides, and desserts. As a raw honey producer, we highly recommend using raw, unpasteurized honey to experience the full benefits nature intended.

You can also make an impact this holiday season by purchasing our Organic Palestinian Olive Oil. To support humanitarian aid amid tragic escalations of violence in Palestine, we are donating all olive oil sales to provide relief to displaced families.

The olive harvest represents the resilience of Palestinians, who cling to traditions like olive pressing despite constant threats to their existence. By purchasing Palestinian olive oil, you honor a culture at risk of being uprooted. Islamic Relief will distribute your donation to provide food, water, healthcare and more for Palestinians in need.

With your help, we can provide aid to Palestinian families while also sharing the unique flavors of their culture. This Thanksgiving, bring loved ones together over dishes made special with raw honey and Palestinian olive oil. Let your guests taste the difference that quality raw honey makes this Thanksgiving!
