SAHA at the Tel Aviv Peasant Market

This Time, from a personal point of view:

Today, i woke up earlier then usual, burnt up my neck and enjoyed the presence of a bunch of zionist Israeli farmers. SAHA has been invited by the organizers of the first Peasant market in Tel Aviv, to exhibit and sell our products.
The first customers were a couple in their fifties.  They were enthusiastic after tasting the Za'atar and asked some questions: Is It Organic, Does it contain salt. Why is it Fair Trade and who are the talented farmers behind the product. My answer, that the old Palestinian tradition helps the Women and farmers co-op produce a high quality Za'atar was recieved in silence. They looked at each other and the woman said in almost a whisper: " wouldn't they try to poison us with the Za'atar?"

Luckily, the hundreds of preceding customers, have proven that some trust still exists between the Israelis and Palestinians.  I can not wait to meet this couple again next week.  Based on past experience, I am sure that finally they will buy the Palestinian high quality products.  I will keep you updated.
